Record Heat and Surf in Southern California

There is a high-heat and a high-surf advisory for late Thursday afternoon into Saturday for Los Angeles and Ventura counties in Southern California.  A strong storm system in the central Pacific produced breakers up to 15 feet high, weather service officials said.

High swells could bring high tides, coastal flooding and potentially dangerous rip currents, the National Service warned.

The summer-like heat and high swells sent surfers flocking to local beaches.

Inland, many cities experienced record high temperatures Wednesday. San Gabriel reached 91, topping the record of 87 degrees set in 2001; UCLA climbed to 89 degrees, breaking the record of 83 degrees set in 2001; and Long Beach recorded 88 degrees, which beat the 65-degree high set in 1969.

Warm weather in the winter is common in the Southland, especially with Santa Ana events, but "when we start breaking weather records set almost 50 years ago, that's unusual," said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service.

While Thursday was another warm day, Seto said he does not expect any records to be set.
High temperatures in the area include 86 in downtown Los Angeles, 90 in Fullerton and 85 in Ontario.

Temperatures are expected to cool off starting Friday.

Deadly Landslide Hits Philippines

A landslide hit the Philippines on Thursday in the remote mountain community on Mindanao island that was declared off-limits last year due to the ever-present danger of landslides, but migrants in search of instant riches had ignored the warning, they added.

Rescuers using only spades and other hand tools pulled 25 bodies and 15 injured residents from the rubble after the landslide in Napnapan near Pantukan town at dawn, civil defence chief Benito Ramos said.

Local military official Colonel Lyndon Paniza, who is coordinating the rescue from Pantukan, about two hours away via rugged mountain roads, said rescuers fear there could be more fatalities.

Provincial governor Arturo Uy said more than 100 people were believed to be still buried under the collapsed mountainside.

Ramos, however, said the number of missing was an estimate based on figures from village officials.
The provincial government and local mining companies have been asked to bring heavy equipment up to the village to help speed up the rescue.

The area had been hit by rains unleashed from a storm off Mindanao's southeast coast, the state weather service said.
