LOS ANGELES — High temperature records were set throughout Southern California on a scorching spring Sunday — many in the same areas that also set records a day earlier, the National Weather Service said.
A high-pressure system that settled over the West Coast baked Los Angeles International Airport with temperatures of 96 degrees (36ºC). The previous record was 90 degrees on the same day in 1947.
Long Beach topped out at 95 degrees (36ºC) on Sunday as did Camarillo and Westwood in Los Angeles.
The Santa Monica Pier heated up to 86 degrees (30ºC), breaking the record of 78 degrees set on the same day in 1993.
The temperature soared to 97 degrees (36ºC) at the San Diego Wild Animal Park near Escondido, the highest for the day in 24 years.
Small brush fires broke out amid the dry, hot conditions in Los Angeles and San Diego counties, but both were quickly extinguished.
