Warmest winter on record for Central Coast

NOAA

The Central Coast is in the midst of its warmest winter on record according to new data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

From December through January, most of California saw record heat that shattered 119-year-old readings by more than four degrees.

Only the North Coast and portions of the Sierra Nevada didn't break those numbers, but those areas still recorded much above average readings.

By contrast, the eastern half of the nation—and specifically the Midwest—saw reading far below average.

In case you're wondering, California saw its coldest winter on record back in 1949 with readings more than six degrees below normal.
