Record heat returns to Southern California after fall-like conditions
A fall-like storm with temperatures of 95 degrees and a heat advisory remains lingering in Southern California Monday morning. Monday’s high temperature is expected to reach the upper 90s.
If you see orange or yellow leaves in the next few days, don’t freak out, but if you’ve already seen leaves change color, take note.
The high and low temperatures look very similar to each other. And just like this September, the highs won’t reach the 70s.
For now, though, the fall-like conditions and high temperatures mean the heat advisory has officially expired. Orange and yellow leaves are already becoming more common across California.
It was clear from the start that a few days of heat would do the trick. With temperatures at record highs Monday, the heat advisory has officially ended. The warm air will stay in California until mid-week.
Tuesday, a high temperature of 97 is expected. It will feel much hotter than the current low of 91 that everyone is having to endure.
