Los Angeles thermometer back up and recording temperatures after meltdown - latimes.com: "It was so hot Monday in downtown Los Angeles that the thermometer broke -- literally.
But don't worry, the official National Weather Service thermometer was back up and running as of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, said weather service meterologist Ryan Kittell.
The thermometer is part of a weather station in a grassy shaded area of the USC campus, and it is designed to work even during blackouts using battery backups. Monday's record 113-degree heat, however, caused an electrical component to fail and cut off the station's power supply, Kittell said."
