Good morning and happy Tuesday!
The low morning clouds are back today and temperatures will be slightly cooler today for areas closer to the coast. Meanwhile, gusty winds, dry weather and warm temperatures will bring the risk of fire weather for the inland region, including the Antelope Valley.
At L.A. County beaches you can expect temperatures from 67 to 74 degrees and between 77 and 87 degrees for the San Gabriel Valley. Meanwhile the San Fernando Valley will see temperatures from 84 to 94 degrees.
In Orange County, it will be slightly warmer along the coast, with highs from 71 to 80 degrees at the beaches and up to 85 degrees inland.
The Inland Empire will see highs of up to 96 degrees. And in Coachella Valley, temps are expected to reach up to 113 degrees.
Staying safe in the heat
- Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water or electrolyte replacements.
- Drink cool water, not extremely cold water (which can cause cramps).
- Avoid sweetened drinks, caffeine and alcohol.
Protect pets
- Never leave a pet or animal in a garage.
- Never leave a pet or animal in a vehicle.
- Never leave a pet or animal in the sun.
- Provide shade.
- Provide clean drinking water.
Protect people
Check in frequently with family, friends and neighbors. Offer assistance or rides to those who are sick or have limited access to transportation. And give extra attention to people most at risk, including:
- Elderly people (65 years and older).
- Infants.
- Young children.
- People with chronic medical conditions.
- People with mental illness.
- People taking certain medications (i.e.: "If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot," the CDC recommends).
