Record-Setting Heat Wave to Continue in Newport Beach Today

Newport Beach will remain in the grips of a heat wave today following a day of record-setting high temperatures.

For the second day in a row, Newport Beach sweated it out in record-breaking heat with a high of 89, breaking the record of 83 set in 1959.

Today’s temperatures were expected to remain abnormally high - 82 in Newport Beach - though a few degrees lower than Sunday’s, remaining in the low 90s in several communities while slipping to the high 80s in others.

The weekend heat wave was the result of a slow-moving high pressure system, according to the NWS.

The NWS forecast partly cloudy skies today and highs of 77 on Mount Wilson; 78 in San Clemente; 80 in Avalon; 81 in Laguna Beach; 83 in Palmdale and Lancaster; 88 in Mission Viejo and Saugus; 89 in Irvine; 90 in downtown L.A., Long Beach, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Anaheim, Pasadena, and Burbank; 91 in Woodland Hills; and 92 in San Gabriel. Temperatures are expected to largely revert to the 70s Tuesday.
