LA bakes in record heatwave
California’s blistering autumn heatwave sent temperatures to an all-time record high of 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 Celsius) in central Los Angeles, with many seeking refuge at the beach or in the shade.
The city hit the hot spot for a few minutes at about 12.15pm local time yesterday, breaking the old all-time record of 112 degrees Fahrenheit (44 Celsius) set on June 26 1990, said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist at the National Weather Service office in Oxnard. Temperature records for the area go back to 1877.
