22:40. update

As expected, new daily, monthly and record highs were recorded Friday throughout southern California due to a monster heat dome sprawled across the region.

The temperature at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) climbed to 111 degrees, the hottest temperature ever recorded there. The torrid temperature exceeded the previous record of 109 degrees established September 20, 1939, the National Weather Service reported . Records at UCLA date back to 1933.

While UCLA's temperature set an all-time record, the temperature in downtown Los Angeles, which reached 108 degrees, remained below its all-time mark of 113. as of September 2010., the 108-degree reading crashed the daily record of July 6 from 94, established in 1992.

In addition to UCLA, other places that set absolute records in California's South include:

Daniel Swain, a researcher in climatology at the University of California at Los Angeles, said that clockwise circulation around the dome of heat and winds offshore will force the mountainous slopes adjacent to the coastal areas, compress and heat the air. "It will probably be a high impact and memorable heat event," he said.

If all-weather temperatures are set in Southern California, it will join a parade of other people established throughout the Northern Hemisphere over the last 10 days, the most recent probably being the temperature the hottest ever recorded in Africa.
