An unseasonable wintertime California heat wave is forecast to continue this weekend and could impact Super Bowl festivities.
An unseasonable wintertime California heat wave — with temperatures in the 80s, maybe even as high as 90 — is forecast to continue this weekend. The out-of-season heat prompted the National Weather Service to issue a rare heat advisory through Sunday evening. The current record for the highest temperature during a Super Bowl is 84 degrees set in 1973, a game that was also played in Los Angeles. However, it looks like this year’s game might pull off a quarterback sneak past that mark. The forecast high temperature for Los Angeles on Sunday is 84 degrees. In Inglewood, the site of the Super Bowl, the forecast high temperature is 82 degrees. This means cracking the top 3 hottest Super Bowls on record is almost a certainty. See how hot the forecast will get The only other time that the temperature during the big game has been above 80 degrees was when the game was held in San Diego in 2003. The heat advisory, issued by the Los Angeles NWS, is in place until 6 p.m. PT on Sunday, meaning it will be valid well past the 3:30 p.m. local time kickoff for the Los Angeles Rams-Cincinnati Bengals match. Unseasonable temperatures will run 15-20 degrees above normal leading up to the game, with temperatures as high as 90 in some locations. „This can lead to wintertime heat stress, especially those who are not used to this kind of heat,“ NWS Los Angeles tweeted.
