Temperatures will go from warm to warmer this week with widespread triple-digit heat by mid-week in Southern California.
Temperatures Tuesday through Friday in the valleys and inland communities will reach triple digits. Expect highs in the mid- to high-90s in the Los Angeles basin and high-80s on the coast for the rest of the week."It's going to sizzle, and it's only going to get hotter in the coming days," said NBCLA forecaster Belen De Leon."We're bracing for a heat wave starting tomorrow and lasting all the way through Friday with a moderate to high risk for heat illness.
Wear lightweight, light-colored natural fabrics like cotton and linen, as these will help your skin breathe and let your sweat evaporate, cooling you down. Use a fan to circulate air from open windows. Keep your blinds or curtains drawn during the day, so your home doesn’t heat up while you’re out. Turn off big appliances and help prevent brown-outs!
Keep some wet wipes in your bag so you can freshen up your hands, face and neck if you get hot or clammy.
