With a major heat wave expected across the L.A. region, 'summer has definitely arrived'

The heatwave comes amid a lingering drought, increasing the risk of brush fires. It also comes as the region prepares to fully reopen from pandemic-related restrictions Tuesday.

A major heat wave featuring record-high temperatures is expected to sweep over the Los Angeles area this week, with the highest temperatures forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The heat wave comes amid a lingering drought, increasing the risk of brush fires. It also comes as the region prepares to fully reopen from pandemic-related restrictions Tuesday, and as the city prepares to reopen some of its pools starting Monday. Valley and inland areas could see triple-digit temperatures. In Woodland Hills, the NWS is forecasting a high of 109 degrees on Wednesday — which would break a record for that date of 107 degrees. Lancaster could hit 111 degrees, which would tie the record for heat there, Thompson said.It will be a little cooler along the beach but not by much, and the NWS has issued an excessive heat watch along the L.A. County coast and across the region for Tuesday and Wednesday.
