Excessive Heat Wave Advisory
Southern California is heading into a high-impact and long-duration heat wave this week, lasting into next week. This heat wave will bring high or even very high heat risk with temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above average.
High temperatures will impact the beaches and the coast for much of this week and weekend. High temperatures in the upper 80s to mid-90s are expected, with low temperatures only dropping into the mid-70s overnight. Higher humidity will make it feel warmer than the actual air temperature. The hottest temperatures at the coast look to occur over Labor Day weekend, with an overall high heat risk expected.
There will be a high risk for heat-related illnesses, especially with extended outdoor exposure. Remember to drink plenty of fluids, seek shade or air conditioning when possible, and ensure your pets have plenty of water and shade.
