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

While today’s temperatures were expected to be a few degrees lower than Sunday’s, slipping from the 90s to the high 80s, they will remain abnormally high.

Record highs were recorded in the greater Los Angeles area on Saturday and Sunday.

The National Weather Service reported a high of 92 in downtown L.A. Sunday, breaking the record of 85 set in 1978; 88 at LAX, breaking the record of 83 set in 1959; 92 at Long Beach Airport, breaking the record of 86 set in 1978; 90 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, breaking the record of 86 set in 1994; 91 at UCLA, breaking the record of 83 set in 1978; 77 at Sandberg in the Antelope Valley, tying the record of 77 set in 2013.

In Orange County, Santa Ana’s 92 broke the record of 89 set in 1931 and Newport Beach’s 85 eclipsed the record 83 set in 1959.

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

L.A. area highs are expected Tuesday to slip to the high 70s, or low 80s in some communities.
