El Niño Brings Heat and Rain to SoCal | Venice Beach News

Record-breaking heat hit Santa Monica Pier at 76.8°F — the hottest July day ever — signaling a hotter, more humid Southern California coast. Driven by a strengthening El Niño in the Pacific, forecasters predict a wetter-than-average season ahead with more storms and atmospheric rivers. While historically El Niño brings rain to the Southwest, outcomes vary — some deliver floods, others fall short. Local factors like reduced ocean upwelling also amplify coastal heat. Stay tuned to the National Weather Service as this could reshape beaches, humidity, and water supplies through fall and winter.
