Here in south central Texas it only reached 79; we turned our air conditioning off yesterday, as it went down to 59 last night.
Every night before that, it was 70 or more with high humidity.
The winds are now coming from the north -- no wonder it's nice out! It's absolutely beautiful out today.
But wow! L.A. is getting positively cooked today.
Los Angeles' Hottest Day On Record
by Chris Dolce, Meteorologist
High-pressure aloft is bringing searing heat to Southern California.
Los Angeles hit 113 degrees on Monday making it their hottest temperature ever recorded since records began in 1877. This also beat the daily record high set in 1963 by seven degrees.
Temperatures have only been 110 degrees or higher three other times in L.A.
Luckily this burst of heat will not stick around too long. After a hot Tuesday with highs likely in the 90s, temperatures are expected to trend downward.
