Winter Heat Wave Sends Temperatures Into the 90s in Southern California
Temperatures reached up to 95°F in the San Fernando Valley, 20 degrees above normal, prompting health warnings and cooling center openings, National Weather Service said.
- On Thursday, Southern California experienced an unusual March heat wave that pushed temperatures into the 90s, reaching 91 in some neighborhoods and up to 95 in the San Fernando Valley.
- High pressure over the region, and Bryan Lewis said the Pacific cooling winds were essentially shut off, causing the March heat wave.
- Officials opened cooling centers and urged residents to drink water and avoid daytime outdoor activities, while outdoor construction workers received water and electrolyte packets, and shade structures were erected Thursday, with Ron Marsh advising breaks if unwell.
- Forecasters warned the heat could put residents and outdoor workers at higher illness risk; a sea breeze on Friday should cool the coast slightly, but inland areas will still swelter.
- Next week the rest of the state will see hotter-than-normal weather, with temperatures about 20 degrees warmer than normal through Friday and topping 90 on Monday around San Francisco and the Sacramento area.
