Extreme Heat Blankets Southern California's Five Counties; Valleys to Near 107°F on Saturday
The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning across much of Southern California — covering Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties — from 10 a.m. Friday, October 2 through 8 p.m. Thursday, October 8. Coastal areas will top out in the 90s, while inland valleys could reach 107°F (about 41.7°C).
Forecasters expect Saturday, October 3 to be the hottest day of the event, running 15 to 20 degrees above normal; temperatures ease only slightly Sunday and stay elevated into midweek, with warm overnight lows offering little relief. The Inland Empire and the Temecula area will also hit triple digits over the weekend. Cal/OSHA reminded employers on October 2 to provide shade, water and rest breaks for outdoor workers.
Residents should avoid midday outdoor activity, stay hydrated and check on seniors, children and pets, and seek help immediately if symptoms of heat illness appear.
