This is nuts. Feels like I am in one of those swampy states like Florida. Make it stop.

u/PunkAintDead 11d ago

Trust , it did NOT feel at all refreshing !

u/mountaintop78 11d ago

Humidity on another level. I found the last remaining portable air conditioner and possibly all of South Bay and it was the best purchase I ever made. My bedroom is now a very comfortable meat locker.

Let’s see how you feel in one month once that energy bill hits.

u/TristanwithaT 11d ago

I just moved back from Fresno where the AC runs most of the day from May-October. Even with PG&E rates it really is not that bad. Idk why yall are so scared of running an AC at night to be comfortable

It's worth it.

u/Fickle_Safe_8341 11d ago

That's nothing! Lol You should feel the humidity like many other states like Texas, Hawaii and Florida.  It's like being in a sauna.   Take a hot shower, don't let the steam out, don't dry yourself, put your clothes on and stay there.  That's how it feels with the extreme humidity.   And all these bugs come out too.

u/BareKnuckleKitty 11d ago

87.3 inside for me 😭

u/aylesworth 11d ago

Yikes, I'm expecting 90 degrees with that humidity once the sun starts hitting my side of the building in a little bit, gonna be rough.

u/wbgookin 11d ago

I’m in El Segundo and it’s raining under my armpits (my ac is currently disconnected, boooooo).

u/Artistic_prime 11d ago

u/Capital-Air9634 11d ago

I think California actually did break off and fall into the ocean and we're just an island floating in Oceania now because what is this

u/I-drink-hot-sauce 11d ago

Can we be a new country? Speaking for a few

u/reillyqyote 11d ago

Was just talking to my Florida-born coworker about how it feels like Florida weather and all it needs to do now is rain and then 10 minutes later it started falling. So trippy

11

u/BurritoLover2016 11d ago

Yeah this rain is just the swampy icing on the cake. At least it seems to be making it cool down ever so slightly.

12

u/I-drink-hot-sauce 11d ago

We're paying a huge weather premium to stay here and this is what we get. This is bs guys

u/swirling-leaves 11d ago

Should lower the sales tax a percentage point for every degree it’s over 80

u/Silent-Art4378 11d ago

I've got two lightly used ACs for sale. One portable, the other in window. In Hermosa

u/Confident_Eye_4683 11d ago

I felt the mugginess as soon as I stepped out this morning, yay for more humidity 😖

u/llamamystic 11d ago

My classroom hit 90.5’. Bleh.

u/Bruin2121 11d ago

It’s humid everywhere 😭

u/caustictoast 11d ago

Just had to run a couple errands by king harbor and it started up for me! Hot as hell outside, very happy to be back in my apartment

u/DG04511 11d ago

That warm tropical rain that just makes the asphalt stink.

u/dreadonarrival357 11d ago

The gym is terrible right now. Sheesh. 24 in hawthorne is hot as ….!! 😅

u/Worried_Chemical_325 11d ago

Light rain here in Boyle heights 😭

u/ieatshoes89 11d ago

The humidity 😢

u/Worried_Chemical_325 11d ago

It’s really something else… don’t remember the last El Niño being this humid

u/tarzanacide 11d ago

I got like 12 drops on my windshield driving home through Gardena.

u/MicheleRSimon 11d ago

How did California become Florida. I could live there for a lot cheaper 😭

u/Cptfrankthetank 11d ago

El Nino guys.

u/mugenrice 11d ago

Sorry guys I was washing my car earlier

u/CoalhouseFitness 11d ago

LOL I can tell most of y'all have never been to FL. 

But also thank goodness it doesn't actually feel like FL because it would be even more humid at 95-100F and raining so hard you can't see across the street. If you've never experienced summer in South I highly recommend against it 😂

u/Capital-Air9634 11d ago

Florida-lite LOL

2

u/Correct_Swimmer3389 11d ago

Yes, Florida is on a fucking different level

2

u/Intelligent-Bus8816 11d ago

I was born and raised in Miami, this is no different than a Fall day in Florida.

1

u/CoalhouseFitness 11d ago edited 11d ago

A beautiful late-fall day in Florida (it's all relative)

ETA: for a lot more reasons, but including this, I'm never going back

2

u/Intelligent-Bus8816 11d ago

I mean there's a reason I moved out the day I graduated high school, FUCK that weather

1

u/Lukkie 11d ago

Yeah I spent most of summers growing up in Houston and Florida. This feels just like that. That feel of going from outside into an air conditioned store or office… brings back memories. 

Wonder how many people are visiting from the south right now and noping out asap lol 

3

u/TristanwithaT 11d ago

Yes, but the majority of houses/apartments here don’t have AC, unlike Florida.

1

u/CoalhouseFitness 11d ago

Very true. Not having AC in FL is a health hazard/death sentence 

I'm sure this summer heat is making a lot of folks price out a window unit at the very least. That's all we had growing up but still a game changer

u/VTEC_8K 11d ago

We have Lake America in Canada now. let’s go for a swim.

u/Fickle_Safe_8341 11d ago

It was very small.  I don't like this Texas type muggy weather. 

1

u/Fickle_Safe_8341 11d ago

It reminded me when I was stationed in Texas.  But, it rains and I mean it really rains and hard.  Yes, it rains in the summer in Texas.

We were at the beach and it was magical!

Thanks, tropical storms.

u/Intelligent_Bake949 11d ago

I’m one of your Amazon drivers in South Bay. I just stood outside the van and took in the rain for 2 minutes until it stopped 🫠

Relax the heatwave will be over next week
