California is recording the hottest winter day in U.S. history. A weather station in the Coachella Valley on Wednesday recorded a temperature of 108 degrees. That ties a record set in Texas in 1902 for the hottest winter day ever.
The National Weather Service says the measurement is still preliminary. Heat records were also set in other parts of the Southwest. Las Vegas recorded an all-time March high of 94 degrees.
Phoenix hit 102 degrees on Wednesday, which was the earliest day in the year that the famously hot city has ever reached 100 degrees.
