Los Angeles County recorded its highest-ever temperature over the weekend as wildfires continued to burn across California.
The record temperature was set in Woodland Hills, California, with the area reaching 121°F (49°C) on Sunday, September 6 – two degrees above the previous high set in 2006.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said the area could get even hotter in the coming days as the heat wave continues in California, Nevada, and Arizona, further fuelling the wildfires which have already burned more than 2,094,955 acres of land across the state.
