Heat Wave Hits Southern California

Southern California is facing a dangerous heat wave fueled by record-breaking temps and soaring humidity, making it feel like triple digits even in coastal areas. A stubborn high-pressure system is locking in oppressive heat, with thunderstorms possible Tuesday through Wednesday. Heat advisories are active across LA County — especially for the vulnerable and those without AC — urging everyone to hydrate, stay indoors, and avoid outdoor exertion. The extreme heat is also sparking wildfire concerns across the West. Compounding the danger, air quality is poor in parts of LA due to a recent warehouse fire, prompting pollution warnings for the San Gabriel Valley and downtown. Temperatures may dip slightly after Thursday but will remain above average through the weekend — while much of the West braces for its first triple-digit days of the year.
