Quick Facts

  • Today’s weather: Sunny
  • Beaches: 75-80 degrees
  • Mountains: 86-96 degrees
  • Inland: 95-104 degrees
  • Warnings and advisories: Heat and Extreme Heat Advisories

You guessed it — we're in for another sweltering day in SoCal!

We're looking at temperatures to reach 104 degrees for the Inland Empire, around 101 degrees for western San Fernando Valley, and up to 114 degrees in Coachella Valley.

For the rest of L.A. County, highs will be between 89 and 97 degrees, with the beaches between 75 and 80 degrees. Downtown L.A. will see a high of 94 degrees.

In Orange County, patchy fog will cover the skies in the morning, but that will clear up by the afternoon. The beaches will warm up to 87 degrees, and inland areas will see temperatures rise to 93 degrees.

The good news — we're going to see temperatures drop a couple degrees come Saturday.

SoCal Cooling Centers

In L.A., Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties, call 3-1-1 or call for a list of cooling centers. In the city of Los Angeles, you can also find a list of recreation centers, senior centers and libraries — all good choices for cooling off — online.

  • Tip: Call the center in advance to make sure seating is available.
  • Tip: If the center you want is at capacity, or non-operational, head to a local, air-conditioned library and cool off with a book about ice fishing in Antarctica.
