Its actually pretty rough where I am.

Its the great lakes region so we're basically surrounded by lakes, so some of the days we had that reached 35 C also had a humidex of like 90%. Its the grossest weather ever. In cali, arizona and texas, its so much nicer even though its warmer, because you're not walking through water vapour.

Though I can imagine LA to be rough. Especially with all the smog and all the traffic.
