San Diego’s Daytime High Hits 80-or-Above Range for the 17th Straight Day

The daytime high in San Diego hit 83 degrees on Monday, the 17th straight day that the high was 80 or above, says the National Weather Service says.

And the same is likely to happen on Tuesday.

A high pressure system and unusually warm ocean temperatures are fueling the hot stretch, and there’s little relief in sight. Seasonal monsoonal moisture is expected to return on Wednesday and last until Friday. Thunderstorms are possible in the mountains.
