96-year-old temperature record broken Saturday in Newport Beach

NEWPORT BEACH — Strong Santa Ana winds that pushed cool marine air out over the Pacific Ocean led to a record high temperature for the date Saturday in Newport Beach,  breaking the old record set 96 years ago,  the National Weather Service said.
The high temperature of 87 degrees broke a previous record of 86 degrees set in Newport Beach on April 29, 1921, meteorologist Mark Moede said.
Elsewhere in Orange County on Saturday it was also unseasonably warm.
