Temperatures will climb well into triple-digits over a widespread area of Southern California with the warmest days of the week on the horizon.
This week's temperatures peak on Thursday and Friday with highs well above 100 degrees in several areas.Elevated wildfire conditions will accompany the hot and dry weather in the mountains, valleys and deserts.
"Dangerous heat is on the way, and it's going to be like this for the next three days, if not hotter," said NBCLA forecaster Shanna Mendiola."We don't get a break overnight. Those warm lows are going to stick with us for the next few nights." "It's going to be very hot," said Mendiola."The heat is going to cook up some of the ozone. What is ozone? It's kind of the pollution that we have in the air. With the heat, it's not going to get any better. You may see some haze outside, and that's an indication that the air quality is not the best."
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. To cool down quickly, run your wrists under a cold tap or keep a water spray in the fridge for a quick cooling spritz to the face.
