| Why Has It Been So Humid In Los Angeles |
What in the World is Happening?
Remember when LA summers were synonymous with dry heat, tans, and endless pool parties? Yeah, us too. But now, it feels like we've been transported to the Amazon rainforest. We're trading in our sunglasses for raincoats (okay, maybe not raincoats, but you get the point).
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
So, what gives? Well, dear reader, it seems our beloved city is experiencing a case of climate change blues. The oceans are warming up, which means more evaporation, which in turn leads to... you guessed it, higher humidity. It's like Mother Nature decided to throw a giant humidifier into the mix.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.

The Sweat Lodge Experience
Trying to look good in this humidity is like trying to iron a wet cat. It's just not happening. Hair? Forget about it. It's a frizzy, uncontrollable beast. Makeup? Melted faster than an ice cream cone on a July 4th parade. And don't even get us started on clothes. Stickiness level: nuclear.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Surviving the Swamp
While we can't control the weather (yet), we can certainly adapt. Here are a few tips to help you navigate this new, humid LA:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
