Southern California braces for scorching heat wave this week

Southern California is set for unseasonably hot weather, with summer-like temperatures predicted despite it technically still being winter. Downtown Los Angeles could reach 93 degrees Fahrenheit (33.8 Celsius).

The National Weather Service (NWS) expects temperatures to be about 20 degrees warmer than normal for mid-March. This raises the risk of heat illness, with forecasters urging people to avoid outdoor activities during the daytime.
