It was 103°F (39°C) in West Hills when I left for work this morning.  This is quite interesting, as long as this temperature represents a normal variance and not the effect of global warming.  Perhaps more interesting is that half an hour away in Thousand Oaks the local temperature was only 88°F (30°C).

I went to Weather.com to check for averages and records for 29 May.  The average high is 83°F (28°C).  The record highs for 28 and 30 May are 104°F (40°C) and 106°F (41°C), respectively, putting 103°F in the region of the record highs for adjacent days.  But the record temperature for today, 29 May, is 113°F (45°C), set in 1984!  This temperature is also the record high for the entire month of May.

The Weather.com weather shows Thousand Oaks now at 96°F (35°C).  Its record high?  Also 113°F in 1984.  I am glad I was in Japan at that time.
