Meteorologist David Sweet with the NWS emphasized the importance of staying hydrated and cool on days when it gets so hot — even if it’s only for a day or two.
“We're going to be experiencing a cooling trend [Tuesday] with temperatures about ten degrees cooler,” he said.
As you've seen from the previous tweet, it is a warm Sunday across #SoCal. Well it looks like Monday will be a little bit warmer.
