Southern California’s Extreme Weather

Across Southern California weather reports show an unconventional high. On Wednesday, September 9th, Southern California hit a high of around 106 degrees. This extremely high weather came along with the humidity that originated from remnants of Hurricane Marie. Hurricane Marie did not hit California directly, however, it did still impact much of the region. The effects were not just the egregious humidity, but also insane shoreline conditions. A great deal of it brought in harsh waves, which made it hard for people to enjoy a nice dip on the beach. Structural damages, harsh rip currents, and beach erosion seem to make enjoying the water impossible. Many people compared these extreme conditions to that of Florida's high heat and drastic humidity. 

  The National Weather Service sent out a low heat advisory on September 7th. As temperatures began to quickly rise the NWS had to send out an alert about the rapidly changing high heat alert. Tony Kurzweil from KTLA News stated, “However, the high-pressure ridge that has dominated the weather pattern will begin to flatten on Friday, bringing significant cooling by the weekend.” As of today, September 11th, the heat advisory has been lifted. However beaches still have unbelievably harsh waves and uncontrollable rip currents so it has been advised for people to stay away from beaches for the time being. However, we will slowly start to see a nice change in weather. Soon temperatures will decrease with around 85 degree weather during the day and with a low of about 64 degrees.  After a horribly long week of high temperatures and horrendous humidity we can finally enjoy a decent weekend of regular California weather.
