"Given the unprecedented length and magnitude of this extreme heat wave, heat stress will be increasing each day, especially in areas that aren't used to the heat, like the coastal areas, where people may not have methods to cool off their homes. Try to complete outdoor activities early in the day or in the evening, and don't leave people or pets in cars."
"A heat advisory is in place from 10 a.m. Thursday to 8 p.m. Friday along a stretch of coastal Southern California from San Diego County to San Luis Obispo County, with forecasters warning of widespread temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees."
"Afternoon temperatures on Thursday will generally be 15 to 25 degrees above normal across the Los Angeles region, where more than a dozen records are expected to be tied or broken, according to the weather service."
Southern California experienced a major heat wave with temperatures soaring 25 degrees above normal, particularly affecting the Los Angeles region. Heat advisories were issued from Thursday through Friday for coastal areas from San Diego County to San Luis Obispo County, with widespread temperatures reaching 90 to 100 degrees. More than a dozen heat records were expected to be tied or broken, with a second round of record-setting temperatures forecasted for the following Tuesday and Wednesday. The unseasonable heat was predicted to weaken slightly over the weekend before intensifying again. Officials warned residents to avoid outdoor activities during peak heat, watch for heat-related illness symptoms, and avoid leaving people or pets in vehicles. Coastal areas faced particular risk due to residents' unfamiliarity with extreme heat and lack of home cooling methods.
