We did this Mountains-to-Ocean tour of LA climate in 2007 with weatherman Bill Patzert of JPL and and Steve LaDochy of CalState LA -- tracking temps from Pasadena to Griffith Park to Disney Hall to the Pier to Mt Wilson ... all in a single day. This week seems like an excellent time to bring it back.

Near the end of their Off-Ramp TemperaTour, JPL climatologist Bill Patzert, Cal State LA meteorologist Steve LaDochy, and KPCC's John Rabe (L-R) discover it's just as hot up on the Angeles Crest, as evidenced by the big cumulus clouds.
