A March heatwave makes Natural Bridges State Beach look like summertime.

In today's newscast, the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey has opened 45 housing units to support people who were living in an encampment along the Salinas River. Plus, residents react to the heat, and Cal State Monterey Bay responds to discriminatory graffiti.

CSUMB holds the broadcast license for KAZU.
