It'll be warmer in the San Gabriel, Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, reaching the lower 90s. In Orange County it'll be in the low 70s at the beaches to the 80s inland.
Riverside County valleys and Inland Empire areas will be in the 90s to about 100 degrees today.
It's going to get warmer the rest of this week, especially Friday and Saturday. There is also a chance of dangerously hot conditions developing over the weekend.
Because of the monsoonal moisture flowing into the region, the marine layer that's been fairly thick along the coasts will likely be broken up.
Due to the Nixon Fire in Riverside County, there will also be relatively poor air quality throughout the Inland Empire at least until Thursday. The fire is polluting the air with fine particulates that make it difficult to breathe. Cities most affected currently include Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino and Corona.
This day in history
On this day in 2023, a haboob was produced in the outflow of decaying thunderstorms in the lower deserts. Gusts of wind over 40 mph occurred for an hour across the region and visibility was reduced to one quarter mile at Thermal and Palm Springs airports.

Things to do
This latest bout of Summer heat provides a good opportunity to enjoy some live events. Here's something to do that will keep you cool in the afternoon and evening:
- Outlaw Fest: — Hollywood Bowl — 2301 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood — When Willie Nelson calls and asks you to play with him, you say yes. We have to assume that’s what happened when the lineup for Outlaw Fest came together. Nelson and his family band join music icons Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp as well as rising country star Brittney Spencer at the Bowl for an event that starts early and will surely jam till Bowl curfew.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
