This may be the day where my little town gets to have the national high for the day. (er, the 8th. I'm technically posting this not long after midnight). USA Today's Weather Extreme page lists Santa Ana (at 93) as having the high for Sunday. It'll be a few hours before they post the high for Monday. It was 93 here today. Based on the last-temperatures in the last 24 hours chart, Monrovia (and downtown LA/USC) are almost neck-and-neck with Pierce College for the nation's high. UPDATE: Shoulda checked the Orange County NOAA info while I was at it. Santa Ana won the prize again, at 97 degrees.
Today defied "warm winter days" ... those are warm in the daytime, lulling one to wear shorts and shortsleeves. But after dark, winter (well, California winter) comes back to bite the unprepared who still are dressed in shorts. Not today. Today was a true summer day. It's midnight and a tanktop outdoors is only just the tiniest bit chilly, just like most summer nights in SoCal.
