"Typically for March, the average high temperatures are in the upper 60s to mid-70s depending on where you are in the L.A. area, so this does put us a good 20 to 30 degrees above normal for this time of year, according to Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard."
"A potentially dangerous heat wave is forecast to broil Southern California this week, boosting the mercury at least 20 degrees above normal, potentially toppling temperature records and raising concerns about an earlier start to the fire season."
"The heat is expected to topple several daily temperature records across the region with some locations potentially breaking the all-time record for the month of March, according to the weather service."
Southern California faces a dangerous heat wave this week with temperatures climbing 20-30 degrees above seasonal norms. After mild conditions early in the week, temperatures will rise Wednesday into the high 70s and low 80s, then surge Thursday and Friday into the 90s along coasts and valleys, with some inland areas reaching 100 degrees. Downtown Los Angeles is forecast to reach 98 degrees, with similar extremes across Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. Multiple daily temperature records are expected to fall, with some locations potentially breaking all-time March records. Heat advisories are anticipated for coastal and valley areas Thursday and Friday.
