Southern California's dry heat allows the actual temperature to climb much higher than South Florida (Inland Empire experiences this regularly in summer but the dry heat can occur throughout the entire L.A. basin during heat waves and even prolonged warm spells at anytime of the year) but remember our heat indexes are lower (look at the overnight lows!). Our average daily temperature is almost always lower because a 90/50 day yields an average of 70 while your 86/76 days yields an average of 81!

It's a serious drought. I wish we could have more normal temperatures paired with rain, but after observing the past two weeks, I'm convinced that it's a prolonged pattern that will last the rest of the winter and spring.

I understand that but the prognosis you are suggesting is like an intense heat wave all month...and wouldnt 106F be a new all-time high temp for march.

Yes; it would be a new record for March and probably the warmest temperature of all of 2015. I actually predict that this summer will be cooler than average with the cold upwelling returning to the Pacific with an above average marine layer. June (and possibly July) might be cooler than March for much of our coast. Our SST have been well above normal for quite a while and what goes up must come down! We might be headed into a La Nina pattern for the fall and winter of 2015-2016 which means a weather pattern similar to what we had in 2010-2011 (that year, we had a much cooler than normal summer with highs in the 60s at the beaches being common (although 70s and 80s inland). We also had a much cooler and wetter than normal winter throughout the basin but with some brief, but strong fall and winter heat waves thrown in here and there).

I'm going to use Portland for this.
Avg max: 57
Avg min: 39
Record max: 66
Record min: 28
Min high: 46
Max low: 54
Precip days: 14
Snow days: 1
Thunderstorm days: 1
Rainfall total: 2.0"
Snowfall total: 0.6"
Sunshine percentage: 50%

The warmer trend will probably stop but not the drier trend.
