Southern California’s recent unusually warm temperatures are expected to rise over the next few days, the National Weather Service said.
Downtown Los Angeles reached 82 degrees, up about 14 degrees on a normal Sunday. Temperatures could rise in the 90s by Wednesday at the coast and valleys, according to weather department Monday morning forecasts.
The incoming heat is part of a broader national trend.
“Most of the countries exceed the average 10-20 degrees, so warm weather enthusiasts are lucky,” the National Weather Service’s Weather Forecast Center posted on X over the weekend. “The high temperatures of the 70s and 80s are possible southwest from the plain.”
The San Diego office of the Meteorological Bureau said Riverside, Anaheim and El Cajon, among others, could get closer to record-breaking heat by Wednesday.
“No matter what records, unseasonably warm temperatures can affect all inland heat-sensitive populations,” the San Diego office of the Meteorological Bureau says in X.
It also could rain Southland by the end of the weekend.
Storms moving across the Pacific Northwest could cause rain to Shasta County and surrounding areas, the National Weather Service said. That water could flow south by the weekend.
