Heat Wave in California

#1 Postby weatherlover427 » Mon Apr 26, 2004 2:23 pm

California is currently baking under an intense heat wave. Los Angeles is currently just under 100° (yes, they really are at 98° currently :eek: ); and here it is almost 90°. These hot and dry conditions are fueling brush fires, as can be evidenced by the FURLUVCATS IN DANGER?? topic in the OT forum. It was in the mid 80s here yesterday as well, which is 15 or so degrees above normal for this time of year. Records for yesterday include:

Yup...just last week we were sitting pretty warm. I believe we hit a peak of 87°F during the week. Pretty warm for mid April! :o

Stay cool and drink lots of water! ;)
