And temperatures of 115 degrees were not unusual for August then but more likely on a yearly basis you could expect at least 110 degrees on a yearly basis then in Glendale where I grew up.
But, 104 degrees in October would never happen simply because often our first rain storms would be in September or October of every year. I have even seen it snow almost a foot of snow when I was in Grade School at age 6 or 7 in Tujunga up against the Angeles Crest National Forest and mountain there one year.
But, I doubt it has snowed since then in Los Angeles County but I could be wrong.
