Record Heat: 112 Degrees in Woodland Hills, 122 Degrees in Palm Springs

Santa Monica was relatively pleasant at 86 degrees, but todays 121 degree record in Palm Springs broke a record going back 80 years. The heat wave has already broken records across the Southland, with more poised to fall on Monday.

Woodland Hills topped out at 112 degrees. Burbank was forecast to hit 108 degrees, passing the old record of 106 degrees in 2008. In Santa Barbara, not far from where the Sherpa fire has scorched nearly 8,000 acres in the Santa Ynez Mountains, forecasters predict the heat to reach 98 degrees. The old record was 96 degrees set in 1973, said Kathy Hoxsie, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

It was 100 degrees in Pasadena before 9:30 a.m., the Weather Service said. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power issued a flex alert – a call to save energy by consumers – until 9 p.m.
