Record-Breaking November Heat Hits Los Alamitos-Seal Beach

Unseasonably high temperatures hit portions of the Southland for the second day in a row today.

A record high of 93 degrees was set Wednesday in Long Beach, smashing the previous high of 89 recorded in 1974, 1975 and 2007, according to the National Weather Service.

By midday Thursday, the National Weather Service announced a pair of Southland temperature records had been set for this date – 90 degrees at Los Angeles International Airport, besting the old record of 89, and 92 degrees in Burbank, beating the old mark of 91.

Highs were expected to approach the 80s along the coast, the mid-80s in downtown Los Angeles and surrounding areas and the low- to mid-90s in the valleys. Gusty weather that had prompted an earlier wind advisory were dying down, although gusts in some areas were expected to approach 25 mph.

Temperatures on Thursday were expected to reach 76 degrees in Seal Beach and 82 degrees in Los Alamitos.

Temperatures are then expected to dip as the weekend approaches, thanks to off-shore winds moving inland, forecasters said.
