San Francisco experienced record-breaking warmth in March, with temperatures reaching nearly 72 degrees on average. This unusual heat has resulted in early ski resort closures in Tahoe, with many runs snowless. The National Weather Service noted that the warm, dry conditions have already contributed to fires, raising concerns as fire season approaches. A strong El Niño pattern is anticipated by summer, which may further impact weather conditions in the region.
