The city of Los Angeles is offering extended hours at six cooling centers for the next six days starting Wednesday while county health officials urge people to take care of themselves and others over the next week, especially during the extended 4th of July weekend when holiday plans often mean outdoor activities.
The Los Angeles coastal area stretching into downtown will be under a heat advisory from 11 a.m. Thursday through 6 p.m. Sunday, with temperatures topping out at 85 to 95 degrees. "A significant heatwave will impact the region this week through early next week, with dangerously hot temperatures across much of the area,'' according to the NWS. "High temperatures by mid to late week are expected to reach 95 to 105 degrees in many areas away from the coast, with highs upwards of 105 to 115 over interior valleys and foothills, including the Antelope Valley. Very warm to hot conditions could extend closer to the coast by late this week.
Those temperatures are 6 to 12 degrees above normal for the coasts, and 12 to 18 degrees above normal for the valleys and interior areas.
