A heat wave is headed to Southern California beginning Thursday.
Andrew Rourke with the National Weather Service told KNX News’ Jon Baird these are just not normal March temperatures.
“We're looking at 15 to 20 degrees of warming,” he said. “Coasts are going to warm up into the valleys into the 90s. So, we do have heat advisories posted for both today and tomorrow for all the coasts and valleys.”
He added Woodland Hills and Burbank could reach 95 degrees, and next week, some areas could reach the triple digits.
Some Santa Monica residents are taking advantage of the morning hours, before the heat hits.

“That's luckily my work-from-home time, so we keep things dark, and the windows are open, and the fans are going, and then it usually cools off by the afternoon, and then we kick the fans up again and stay cool,” one woman said.
There is expected to be a cooldown this weekend, but it won’t last long. Another round of hot weather is forecast to hit on Monday.
