First Day Of Summer Brings Triple Digit Temps To LA
A short-lived heat wave is coinciding with the first day of summer, driving temperatures into the 90s and above 100 in parts of the county.
LOS ANGELES, CA – A hot spell again will send valley temperatures in L.A. County into the 90s and 100s Thursday – the first day of summer.
With temperatures running 8-12 degrees above normal, the hot spell – not quite a heat wave, forecasters said – results from a strong upper-level ridge. It began Wednesday.

County Thursday and highs of 69 degrees in Avalon; 71 at LAX; 73 in Long Beach; 78 in Downtown L.A.; 83 in San Gabriel; 84 in Burbank; 86 in Pasadena; 87 on Mount Wilson; 92 in Woodland Hills; 96 in Saugus; and 103 in Palmdale and Lancaster.
