Starting Friday, California will brace for a heat wave, resulting in triple-digit temperatures across the state. Heat advisories are in place for regions including the Bay Area and Central Valley, with temperatures expected to exceed normal levels by 16 degrees. Particularly vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions, are at high risk for heat-related illnesses as officials warn of necessary precautions against the extreme weather. The forecast indicates dangerously high temperatures, pushing daily highs towards record levels for the time of year in various regions.
By Friday, levels reach 'Major (Red)' in many areas, which means heat affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.
In Los Angeles County, the Public Health Department issued a heat advisory for residents warning of the high risk of heat-related illness for sensitive populations.
