October Heat Wave Grips Southern California; Extreme Heat Warnings Through Oct. 8
Extreme Heat Warnings issued by the National Weather Service for Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties remain in effect through the evening of Oct. 8. A persistent high-pressure "heat dome" over the West is driving temperatures 15-20 degrees above normal for early October.
Coastal highs will run around 90, with inland valleys reaching 100-105 and overnight lows stuck in the 70s, offering little relief. Forecasters expect gradual cooling to begin around Oct. 9.
Dry, gusty winds also raise wildfire risk. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, know their nearest cooling center, and be ready for possible power outages; employers must provide shade, water and rest breaks for outdoor workers.
