HOT

"hot": capable of giving a sensation of heat or of burning, searing, or scalding

Merriam-Webster defined this word perfectly.  And it's definitely how it felt Monday in LA, when we experienced the hottest temperature on record for the city at 113 degrees.  It was completely insane being out on the playground in it.  The kids kept going though, playing kickball and football.  They're champs.  To top off the day, the power went out a couple times during the day too. 

Thanks for the warm welcome, LA!

Here's an entertaining article about the weather and the National Weather Service's thermometer that broke as a result of the temps: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-hottest-ever-20100928,0,329968.story
