Rain, possible thunderstorms will break SoCal heat streak this week, forecasters say
""We are going to begin a cooling trend starting [Monday], which is going to be a few degrees above normal, through Wednesday. Thursday through the weekend will be on the cooler side for sure.""
""It was definitely a really warm March. But this doesn't lock us into any specific [temperature] for April just because March was warm.""
""After intense winter rains, March brought heat and a dry spell. Woodland Hills reached 102 degrees on March 19, breaking the previous record of 96 set in 1997.""
""In early April, Santa Ana winds fanned the flames of local wildfires. The Springs fire in Riverside County, which prompted evacuation orders, was 95% contained Sunday evening.""
Southern California experienced a record-breaking warm spell in March, with temperatures reaching as high as 102 degrees. This led to local wildfires, exacerbated by Santa Ana winds. However, forecasters predict a shift to cooler, wetter weather starting this week, with rain expected in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Residents can anticipate up to 1 inch of rain and a cooling trend. Experts attribute the recent weather fluctuations to climate change, indicating that warmer temperatures in March do not guarantee similar conditions for April.
