Los Angeles, get ready to break out the shorts and sunglasses—a heat wave is rolling in! A strong high-pressure system is setting up over SoCal, which means clear skies, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures soaring toward 90°F by Wednesday. It’s going to feel more like summer than late February!
How Hot Will It Get?
- Monday: A warm and sunny start to the week – 76°F (24°C)
- Tuesday: Even warmer, with highs near 78°F (26°C)
- Wednesday: The hottest day—temps could hit 90°F (32°C)!
- Thursday: Still toasty, staying in the mid-80s
- Friday: Slightly cooler, but still warm, in the upper 70s
Why Is It So Hot?
A high-pressure system is parked over the region, trapping heat and keeping the skies clear. It’s not uncommon for LA to get these early spring warm-ups, but hitting 90°F in February is definitely on the rare side.
How to Stay Cool
Drink lots of water—it’s easy to get dehydrated in this kind of heat.
Wear light clothing and don’t forget sunscreen—that SoCal sun is strong!
Avoid heavy exercise during peak heat (12–4 PM)—your afternoon jog might be better in the evening.
Check on pets, kids & elderly neighbors—they feel the heat even more.
How Long Will the Heat Last?
The hottest day will be Wednesday, with a slow cooldown toward the weekend. But don’t expect sweater weather just yet—temps will stay warm well into next week.
