The Weather Is Going To Keep Sucking This Week :(

We here at LAist were born and raised in Southern California, and when it's not 78 degrees we start to malfunction. When it's 77, we shiver like the panna cotta from Bäco Mercat. When it's 79, we sweat like a beer mug in the upper deck at a Dodgers game. We are currently perspiring at a rate that will overflow the Silver Lake reservoir by Monday morning rush hour - it's 100 degrees across most of the eastside.
We wouldn't trade our weather for the rainstorms that are soaking our frenemies in New York City while they slip and trip down the subway stairs, but suffice it to say we are feeling some pain out here.
So we regret to inform you that it's still gonna be hot this week. Pretty frickin' hot. Especially for October. The National Weather Service says in Silver Lake you'll be coping with the mid 80s to low 90s this week. If you're out in Canoga Park, it'll be 90-plus through Wednesday, before you get a balmy 87 degree high on Thursday.
The only place that gets a break is Santa Monica, where residents will only get as hot as 82 degrees all week. But on the flipside, Santa Monica residents have to live in Santa Monica, and we wouldn't wish that on any of our readers or their loved ones.
