Southern California had a mild summer. Was this summer the coolest on record?
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Compared to the simmering summers Southern California usually experiences, the past few months have been relatively cool.
While these summer temperatures aren't setting any record highs, it doesn't look like they will be setting any record lows either. In fact, despite how mild temperatures have been, they are still a far reach from record lows of past summers.
We combed through data from the National Weather Service to discover what the lowest recorded daily highs in Southern California have been.
