Western cities had hottest March on record LOS ANGELES (AP) — While much of the nation shiv- ered, many Western cities swel- tered through their hottest March on record. Cities in California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada and even Montana had record high temperatures on individual days last month, ac- cording to the National Weather Service. Some also racked up unusual overall temperatures or streaks of balmy weather. In Los Angeles, the average high in March topped 79 degrees, and the temperature hit 90 or high- HURQVL[GD\V6DQ'LHJRKDG¿YH days of 90 or above. In Phoenix, WKHODVW¿YHGD\VRIWKHPRQWKKDG highs of 95 or above. The warmup is caused by a high-pressure system that has cov- ered the West Coast and shows no sign of easing this year, said Eric Boldt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. The ridge of high pressure blocks storms, which means “less cloud cover and more sun, and that’s kept us very warm,” Boldt said Wednesday. “All of the West Coast ... even up into Oregon, Washington ... have seen record-breaking tem- peratures this winter, and March just continued this same theme,” he said. San Diego has now seen 17 warmer-than-normal months in a Portland bans pesticides harmful to bees AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File In this March 11 photo, the sun sets as a weather front passed through Southern California, seen from the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) in Los Angeles. row, and Billings, Montana, had its second-warmest March in more than 80 years. Las Vegas had a record mean of 66.7 degrees in March. Yakima, Washington, had a record mean of about 50 degrees, which was 7 de- grees above normal. The high-pressure ridge that’s to blame forces storms over the top of it, and they wind up socking the Northeast, Boldt said.

The council voted unanimously Wednesday to adopt an ordinance that bars the city from buying or using neonicotinoid pesticides on city property, and urging retailers to label plants, seeds and products containing them. It does not stop people from using the pesticides on private property. Neonicotinoids have been blamed for seven bee kills in Oregon since 2013. Seattle and Spokane in Washington state, Eugene, Oregon, and national wildlife refuges have banned their use to protect pollinators. The ban was hailed by conservation groups, which are also working for statewide restrictions on the pesticides. 5 3 1 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme The higher the AccuWeather.com UV Index™ num- ber, the greater the need for eye and skin protection.
