At last report (just before 4 our time), it was a steamy 94 degrees in downtown Los Angeles this afternoon.
In other words, a full 18 degrees cooler than it was the same time on Monday, when it was 112.
The high for the day on Monday, 113, wasn't just a record for a Sept. 27; the old record was 106, set in 1963.
The 113 was the highest temperature ever recorded at the downtown station, period, besting the 106 of June 12, 1990.
And you thought it was hot around here this summer.
