Disneyland just had its hottest day ever. 113 degrees.

[dixiegrrrrl]

It is not only the hottest temperature on record since the park opened in 1955, it is the hottest temperature recorded at any of the Disney parks around the world (including Orlando, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong), according to Theme Park Insider.

Because of the oppressive heat, park officials closed all outdoor rides, including Big Thunder and Mountain Railroad. Several food vendors also shut down because of the heat. Those who went to the park on that day said that lines for rides were short, as the park was practically empty.

Disney first aid staff were on call to help guests experiencing dehydration. “There was one medic run right after the other,” one park cast member said.

Would be ironic if venues like Disneyland loses huge bucks due to climate change.

1. With climate change it's tomorrow land

[JI7]

2. So Cal has been bad. It's the humidity that is making it suck

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

3. They're lying about the daily temps.

Today was supposed to be 86 degrees. It was 97. This has been happening routinely this summer from Weather Underground. They raise the next three day window to upper 80s....then it goes over 100. (heat index). We have entered a time of runaway temperatures that the National Weather Service is conspiring to help cover up. If you live in a house wo AC...There's no hiding it.

4. I read Weather Underground too and I don't know

why since they are always off by 10 degrees. They hardly factor in the real feel with the humidity either. The other night it didn't get below 80 degrees and was muggy. This has been happening a lot in S Calif for 5 or so years. It never was this humid...unbearable. I used to teach at a year round school and my room had no A/C and was 95 inside during the months of July and Sept. No one can teach or learn in that environment.

Climate change will create tons of small catastrophes all the time....like that bridge in Chicago.

5. I'm glad I'm not imagining this 18 hour day of over 100 degree temp...that was supposed to be

high 80s. Once the president lies...then everybody can bc hey, they have consented.
Thanks for the comment.
I don't remember WU being this far off. It feels like runaway temps that they can't admit, or their would be civil unrest. The "Heat Dome" bullshit story that was supposed to last 3 days...has set in for the duration.

15. Interesting about humidity.

What on earth can be causing that??

And, FWIW, we have just finished a couple weeks of high 90's and high humidity.
It's humid and hot here in the summer, but usually not THAT humid in our area.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Who the Hell knows but people around here

have never experienced so much humidity in the Summer as they have in the last 10 years. No more dry heat for us. Climate Change is going to make all sorts of strange occurrences and we will be guinea pigs in this climate experiment.

21. Hotter temps cause more evaporation, pumping up the humidity

If you want to read something really scary, have a look at what happens when our planet warms enough to break the 'wet bulb' lethality point for humans in the next few centuries: https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/08/south-asia-heat-waves-temperature-rise-global-warming-climate-change/

22. Ty

If I could lift my wrist id order it from Amazon....but...the heat....the heat...sighhhhhhhhhhh

[Roland99]

8. I used weather.com and accuweather.com last week

I was at Disneyland all last week (wife and kids still there)

They were within a couple of degrees of actual temps

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

9. Good news.

I think this ugliness is happening in states where the temperatures go to 100....maybe twice a summer. I remember that bc...it was a huge event growing up. Now it's all heat, all the time.
I'll check accuweather. TY.

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. And I thought it was just Accuwether that couldn't forecast.

So come to find out, Accuweather uses Weather Underground as a weather source.

It does get points for having a very easy to see radar forecast of the storms moving around, tho.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

14. Hmm.

Something has taken a definite turn it seems. My city is beginning to look like Tuscan.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

18. Another day. Was supposed to be 86...it's 105 degrees Heat index. 96 degrees.

The ONE DAY forecast was that far off....not 5 days out...ONE DAY FORECAST.

[GulfCoast66]

6. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

That is the reaction we will get from the right.

[procon]

7. It's 'only' 101 degrees out in the Mojave Desert.

They must feel even worse with a considerable higher humidity than our bone dry 9% out here.

[Roland99]

10. Small World melted into my shorts! It hit 115F at 2:53pm in Anaheim.

And it gets hotter in the parks.

Why?

Because the trees and buildings and privacy structures block much of the breeze, if any, and the expanse of pavement and concrete radiates heat back up.

We were in the parks last week. Started at 7am for Eary Magic Hour and didn’t leave until DL closed at midnight. No hotel breaks, no pool breaks!

Also, that same day, their entire web and app systems went down. No one could get a FastPass at a kiosk or use the app for a MaxPass.

We ended up using the Guest Relations stands throughout the lands and ended up getting more FPs than we normally would have

Stayed hydrated and utilized the a/c rides.

And, funniest part, Small World seat melted into my shorts!! The black material on top of the seat just peeled and embedded into my shorts! Got a voucher for a new pair at least.

I have to say, the CMs and all of Guest Relations were beyond wonderful and patient. They did an amazing job that day!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

19. That's amazing.

You are correct bout the pavement and circulation I think.

[tavernier]

11. Maybe even hot enough to melt Imhofe's snowball.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

20. He's such an asshole.

[Scurrilous]

12. If it's so hot why is there still snow on the Matterhorn??

[Roland99]

17. LOL!

My son, who’s still there, has probably ridden that at least 100 times since Tuesday.
