“Ironically, no records were broken, but it was still hot,” said Jimmy Taeger, a weather service meteorologist in San Diego. However, the mercury reached a record-breaking high of 100 degrees on the same day in 2017. AdvertisementSouthern California is in the midst of a fall heat wave brought by a mixture of high pressure and offshore winds with temperatures at least 10 degrees warmer than usual, Taeger said. Temperatures ranging from 90 degrees to over 100 degrees are expected across much of the Southland through Tuesday. In San Bernardino, firefighters took on a blaze that broke out Monday afternoon near homes in the Little Mountain area.
