Valley and mountain areas will see temperatures between 90 and 109 degrees, prompting an excessive-heat warning for Monday and Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to rise by as much as 16 degrees above normal early this week, elevating the risk of wildfires and heat-related illnesses as another blistering August heat wave hits Southern California.
Health officials are urging the public to take precautions to protect themselves against heat exhaustion and heat stroke by drinking plenty of water and either staying indoors or seeking out cooling centers with air conditioning.
On Sunday, Los Angeles County was expected to see highs in the mid-80s to mid-90s. But gusty sundowner winds are expected Sunday night and Monday night, further elevating dangerous fire conditions. “I think we’re going to see similar numbers,” Wofford said. “It will be a little warmer for coastal areas this time around because we don’t have as much of the marine layer we did before. Valleys will probably be within a few degrees of the last [heat wave].”
