The National Weather Service has issued an excessive-heat warning, effective from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 8 p.m. next Monday.
Today starts an extended heat wave for San Diego County, even folks along the coast will need to find ways to beat the heat. KPBS reporter Kitty Alvarado went out to find folks doing just that.
Liam’s dad, John Anderson, said while they do live on the coast, the humidity makes it feel hotter and during the heat wave they have to get out of the house."We don’t have air conditioning, so any way to stay cool — we take him to the beach all the time down here of course," he said.The trouble, though, was getting Liam to go back home."I’ve been trying for a half hour now," Anderson said.
Over the period, thermometer readings will rise well into the 80s at the beaches, the 90s in the inland valleys and up to 115 in the deserts, and high-humidity levels will make it feel even hotter, the NWS advised.The soaring temperatures will significantly increase the potential for heat-related illnesses, particularly for those working or exercising outdoors, meteorologists cautioned.
