Well, apologies to Albert Hammond (Google it young people) but I’ve been searching for words to describe the heat event in Southern California yesterday. Fritz Coleman, KNBC’s meteorologist called it astonishing, and I used astounding. Trust me, words fail to describe the magnitude fo this heat event.
Van Nuys set an all-time record high of 117ºF which broke their daily record by 18 degrees!! So did Burbank and UCLA (NWA Graphic below is in error they hit 108º).
The image below is ground temperatures from infrared sensors from a NASA polar-orbiting satellite that passed over just after midday Friday.
