“Temperatures will continue to be warm overnight and may not provide much relief from heat stress,” NWS Los Angeles wrote on X, adding that many daily and potentially monthly March records would be broken.
The prolonged heat this early in the year poses concerning risks to residents, meteorologists warned.
“There will be a high risk for heat illness for everyone — especially in locations away from the coast. If you or someone you know is at risk for heat-related problems, please make cooling plans now for the rest of this week,” the NWS warned.
Typically, during March, Los Angeles and the larger coastal region see temperatures in the high 60s, rarely climbing into the 70s.
