Google: Mega scorcher in Chatsworth!

12:51 PM PT, Jun 19 2008

Chatsworth

Google's built-in weather doohickey reports that Chatsworth is enjoying a spot of weather, with temperatures hovering at 178 degrees Fahrenheit, winds southwest at 114-mph hour (that's a category 3 hurricane), and humidity at a muggy 110%. 

Five miles south in Canoga Park, it's like a cold day on the moon in comparison, 73 degrees cooler, 97% less humid and barely a breeze to speak of. 

Maybe Google's Chatsworth weather scientists have gone mad, because wunderground.com says Chatsworth's only 108F. Which might come as a disappointment to all the tourists out there who were hoping to sweat through a couple of T-shirts on their way to a nuclear cyclone insta-tan.

UPDATE: Either Google fixed it or Chatsworth just got hit by a nor'easter...conditions are back to a healthy swelter.
