Book Description
Excerpt from Los Angeles as a Summer Resort, 1902 Delightful climate, yes, but how terribly hot it must be in summer. Such is a remark often heard from visitors who come to take refuge in Southern California from the rigors of an Eastern winter. It is not surprising that strangers who find the climate of an Eastern May at inidwinter should suppose that the climate of July must necessarily be insufferable. Such, however, is far from being the case. The summer climate of Los Angeles, and of that section of Southern California within about thirty miles of the coast, is delightful. This is due, partly, to the fact that our ocean cur rent comes from the north, not from the south, as on the Atlantic coast, and also to the fact that the superheated air on the great deserts east of Southern California rises with the sun, and lets in a cool current from the ocean. This sea breeze sets in daily, at about eleven o'clock. At night there is a reversal of the process, a land breeze blowing out to the ocean. It appears as if nature had selected Southern California to show what she could do at her best, in the shape of a climate that approaches so near to perfection as to leave scarcely a loophole for captious criticism, except on part of those few unfortunate individuals whose livers are so badly out'of order that they suc ceed in finding something to complain of wherever they may be.
