Happy Wednesday! We're in for another hot day, but areas closer to the coast will experience slightly cooler temperatures. Meanwhile, inland areas will still rise to around 100 degrees.
The most notable cooling will be for the inland coast, where temperatures will now reach up to 86 degrees. The beaches will still see temperatures in the mid 70s, and don't forget to stay close to a lifeguard if you're swimming because strong rip currents and elevated surf are still likely until this evening.
L.A. County valleys will see highs now between 84 and 94 degrees.

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.

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.
