Los Angeles heat wave tests limits of shade and fans
Original: With temperatures rising to the 90s in Los Angeles, avoiding the heat wasn't exactly an option while I was at a relative
During a stretch of 90-degree heat in Los Angeles, a person attended an outdoor family party in August and tried to stay cool under a patio umbrella with a powerful fan nearby. Half an hour later the protection proved insufficient, a reminder that in extreme heat, shade and airflow alone may not prevent overheating or sun exposure.
Why now: Ongoing hot weather in Los Angeles is prompting people to share how they cope with the extreme heat.
