LOS ANGELES — On days that Kae Hernandez takes ceramics classes at Cal State Long Beach, the 21-year-old carries a spare change of clothes. Hernandez packs an ice chest with water bottles in the car.
All this to contend with the stifling heat in Hernandez's classroom, where temperatures can reach into the 90s on hot days.
It's a phenomenon that's become increasingly common, as Southern California struggles through bouts of extreme heat, including a record-breaking heat wave earlier this month.
