Just a few months ago, Steven Taylor remembers how hot it was in LA. Everyone was doing everything they could to cool down. That was back in November. When December came, however, everyone was very surprised when the cold weather suddenly rushed in from out of nowhere. Now everyone in LA is scrambling to buy cold weather clothes and umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain.
One could ask if this weather is normal in Los Angeles. Steven Taylor believes that this is normal weather. According to weather experts, the hot weather in Los Angeles “...starts from late June to early July and ends in September or October” - Wikipedia, Climate of Los Angeles. It is during the last few months of the year when the summer monsoon thunderstorms start appearing. The surprise, though, is that nobody in Los Angeles expected the heavy rains to last for weeks.
If one looks at the local news nowadays, the weather forecast is all about moderate to heavy rains for all of Southern California. Steven Taylor is always on the lookout for weather reports because if one is caught in a heavy downpour, health consequences are sure to follow. So if one is like Steven Taylor, concerned always for the health and well-being of family and friends, here is some good advice on how to survive the rainy days in Los Angeles:
Online Shopping is Available - Need to buy something important? Does one’s refrigerator need restocking? It’s time to open your mobile phone or computer for some online shopping. Applications found in mobile phones allow the user to choose and buy groceries, food, and other important items online. It’s also easy to pay for these items too, thanks to online bank transactions. Sure, there’s the small delivery charge, but that’s a small price to pay compared to walking outside in the rain!
Plan your Trips - Absolutely need to go out? Book a cab or an Uber driver for convenience. There is no need for a person to go out and get drenched under the heavy rain. If you have your own vehicle, plan your route and always make sure to dress in the proper attire for the rainy days. If you need to use a heavy coat because one feels very uncomfortable because of the cold, then do so.
Checking the Water Heater - Since it’s going to be a very cold December until the New Year, it’s always recommended to get the water heaters checked in one’s apartment or own home. Steven Taylor always makes it a point to check the heaters in the apartments in preparation for the cold weather. Besides, this is way cheaper compared to calling the service crew when the heater dies. Not only is it going to be expensive, but it’ll also be a chilly and uncomfortable experience too!
