Record Weather as Summer-Like Conditions Continue

It's been beach-strolling, shorts-and-t-shirt weather for the last week.

This is why people love California, despite one of the most oppressive business climates in the nation.

See Los Angeles Times, "Heat records break as summer-like weather continues."

Southern California should experience another day of warm weather Thursday as temperatures are expected to climb into the 80s.

The National Weather Service issued a high-surf advisory for late Thursday afternoon into Saturday for Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A strong storm system in the central Pacific produced breakers up to 15 feet high, weather service officials said.

High swells could bring high tides, coastal flooding and potentially dangerous rip currents, the National Service warned.

The summer-like heat and high swells sent surfers flocking to local beaches.
