It's October...Apparently no one told the weather...

It's fall...officially, and now October - the time of pumpkins, leaves and horns of plenty. In California, also time for a bathing suit? We are experiencing a wave of heat before the weather turns fall like, and while we are a good 20 degrees over normal we're not shattering any records. According to the weather page on USA TODAY.com Covina's high for today is 98 degrees, with a humidity of 20%. According to the heat index that 20% humidity puts us in the "extreme caution" (yellow) category. While this may not seem like anything to get too alarmed about, the temperature does have a huge impact on older people, young children and animals.

Just something to keep in mind...
