Extreme heat in Burbank– cooling centers open

Fans and air conditioners were going full blast all over Burbank today. The mercury soar to a blazing 100 degrees. The high humid — over 50 percent at times — made going outside difficult to bear.  We’re used to dry heat — not the sticky humid conditions we had today.  More of the same ahead, at least through tomorrow.   Due to the […]

Guest Blogger: The weather, life, and happy days

Of course everybody wishes to have bright and happy days all the time, but if every single day was like that, we could forget what happiness is.

Another hot, hot day in the Media City

The sun is going to be roasting Burbank again today. I made the mistake of going to the Downtown Post Office on East Olive Avenue at around 4:15 yesterday afternoon. If you thought it was sticky hot outside — well, it was more so inside that historic old building without air conditioning!!! Postal workers and customers were sweating in what felt like an oven. […]
