Want to put September in the rear-view window and drive away? Far, far away?
You’re not alone.
Last month was the second hottest September on record, according to the National Weather Service. The average daily high temperature was 104, well above the average daily high of 99.
The average daily low temperature was 78.9, the sixth-warmest on record.
But relief may be on the way and triple digits may disappear for the rest of 2010.
Sunday’s forecast calls for highs between 97 and 102, with a very slight chance of showers as a low-pressure system moves into the Valley.
Monday’s high should be in the uppers 90s, with highs in the 80s expected by Wednesday. The biggest change may be in the night temperatures, where lows Sunday will be in the mid 60s to low 70s. Wednesday night’s low could be in the mid 50s.

"Last month was hottest September on record"
And in Los Angeles, many sought refuge at the beach as California's blistering fall heat wave sent temperatures to an all-time record high of 113 degrees in downtown Los Angeles Monday, Sept. 27th. They reported a cool 104 degrees in Palm Springs that same day.
Downtown L.A. got a little taste of Phoenix and Mesa temperatures Monday and Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, the heat wave in L.A. Monday is the result of "a ridge of high pressure over the West that was keeping the Pacific Ocean's normal moist and cool influence at bay."

The late season high pressure must be caused by Global Warming or Climate Change or is it Global Climate Disruption. They are coming up with so many names to support the their doom and gloom agenda. It's obvious they will keep renaming until they find something that works so they can ram their cap and tax bill down our throats along with health care etc. Hurry up November 2nd.
