This is 3 weeks earlier than the previous heat waves.

California officials have issued a sweeping heat advisory affecting more than 5 million residents, warning that dangerous temperatures will grip coastal and inland communities from Thursday morning through Friday evening.

The National Weather Service is urging people to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day as an unusually early-season heat event pushes temperatures into the 90s across much of Southern California. Forecasters say the 34‑hour advisory, which covers San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Ventura counties, could lead to heat-related illnesses, especially for people without access to air conditioning or those who must spend time outdoors.

that's a bit precise isn't it ?..Not 24..not 36..not 48... but 34 :unsure:
 
What they're saying:

The NWS has issued a "High Risk for Heat Illness" warning that 16.8 million people in the region will be impacted.

The agency stated that this level of heat "will impact those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling or hydration, and some health systems and industries."

Weather officials are urging residents to treat this as a significant health event, noting that "several calendar day records will be shattered, with some areas potentially breaking all-time records for March."

A Heat Advisory is in effect from 10 a.m. Thursdasy to 8 p.m. Friday for the coasts and coastal valleys of Ventura and LA counties, where widespread temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees are expected.

What's next:

While the most intense heat is centered on Thursday and Friday, Saturday will remain dangerously warm with highs between 82°F and 96°F for coasts and valleys.

That is true for those of us who have been living here for a while. But it is Spring Training season so there are a lot of out of towners here this month (especially from the Chicago area) and it is supposed to get up to 100 next week so they will not be very comfortable going to the games.
 
has all this been brought to bear by bad human practices and interactions with our environment or is it just a cyclical even that occurs have few hundred years??

Pyrophytic plants are those species of plants that resist and resist the effects of fire. While fires can be devastating, they are also an integral part of certain ecosystems. They are important for nutrient cycling, improving biodiversity and other factors. They are also not new and have been occurring since the beginning of time. For this reason, many different plant species have generated various adaptations to survive in environments where fires are a possibility or even a frequent occurrence. Fire can even be an important part of a plant's ability to colonize in their environment. Not all pyrophytes are the same, with different types existing according to various factors.

At thedailyECO, we explore pyrophytic plants by looking at the types pf pyrophytes. We discover different pyrophytic plat species such as the eucalyptus genus, the Aleppo pine and the cork oak. We provide information on their adaptation, as well as photos of what they look like.

It is both, as my previous post explains why fire is needed for some plants and trees to continue and not die out. How much damage
from humans? Once again , who really knows, either way that's where we are so understanding why some fires are a good thing
is never a bad thing to know.

Depends on where you are. In Imperial Valley, the fair/expo runs Mar2 to Mar 11. High temps are not that unusual.

My wife and I are moved to a country in July 2025 where 100 and even more from July till September happens, often for several weeks. But in March this would be unusual. Nevertheless I like high temperatures over low temperatures.

Pfffttt.... we get these warnings often. Cold, warm, wind, rain, you name it. Very few people pay more than passing attention to them. Yeah, tomorrow & Friday have forecasted highs of 92. That's along with forecasted lows of 62. Open your house in the evenings and early mornings, and you won't even need to click on the AC.

People living where temps can reach into the 90s and above do (or should) know to limit strenuous outdoor activity during the heat of the day and stay hydrated.

Almost every place serving the public has AC. Churches, stores, schools, libraries, offices, etc. Nearly all homes also have it, too.

This is a tempest in a teapot.
