Long Beach breaks temperature record again in 2nd day of triple-digit heat • Long Beach Post News

“Today is the last day of the heat wave and overnight temperatures should be cooler,” according to the National Weather Service. “The cool down will continue through the weekend and into early next week, with a chance of marine layer stratus returning. There is a slight chance of showers late Monday into Tuesday but less than one tenth of an inch of rain is expected.”

While a cool down is on the horizon, Friday was another sizzler. Long Beach broke the triple digits for the second straight day, hitting 101 degrees and shattering the record for the day, which was last set in 2014 at 92 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Temperature records for Long Beach date back to 1958.

Records were also broken Friday in Downtown Los Angeles, the Los Angeles International Airport, Burbank, the University of California Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Oxnard and Camarillo.
