HIGHEST & LOWEST TEMPERATURE RECORDS - LOS ANGELES COUNTY

The highest temperature historically recorded among the 20 Los Angeles County weather stations monitored by the Almanac (according to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information) was 135 o F , recorded in Beverly Hills on January 22, 2017. This followed 134 o F , recorded just six months ealier, at the same location, on June 30, 2016. These rare extreme temperatures are typically only reached in Death Valley in the California desert. The Almanac finds these high temperatures, recorded in the Los Angeles area, astonishing, especially when nearby UCLA weather station, less than three miles from Beverly Hills, did not record any temperature anywhere near these extremes. There were similarly unusually high temperatures recorded in San Gabriel Valley, Santa Clarita and Woodland Hills. The Almanac does question the accuracy of these recordings, however, we have no information with which to challenge these.

The latest lowest temperature recorded in Los Angeles County was 0 o F in Saugus in Santa Clarita on January 12, 1995. There were several zero temperature measurements in the last week of December 1994 and during January 1995. These were interspaced with daily low temperatures in the 40s and 50s. The Almanac questions whether these zero measurements reflected actual minimum temperatures at the time or simply "no data" recordings. The lowest non-zero temperature recorded was 2 o F in Lancaster on December 24, 1984.
