More Than A Dozen Daily High Temp Records Tied Or Broken As California Heatwave Grinds On

[hatrack]

LOS ANGELES — California is still in the grip of a record-setting heat wave.

The National Weather Service says cities up and down the state had record high temperatures for the date Monday.

It was 89 in downtown Los Angeles, breaking 1977's record of 88. In Orange County, Santa Ana hit 94, well above the 89 recorded in 1977. San Francisco's 77 was a degree hotter than the high set in 1930.

Records were tied or broken in more than a dozen other places, including Long Beach, Chula Vista, Escondido, Modesto and airports in Oakland and Sacramento.

1. We are getting hit with a heat wave in Arizona too

This is supposed to be the time of the year we get a break from the heat and were in the 90s. This is ridiculous.
