Today's hot, but not as hot as Saturday's record-breaking heat

It’s another hot day today. A few degrees of cooling are expected across the region, with highs hovering between 85 and 90 in the Downtown LA area, 95 to 100 degrees in the San Gabriel Valley, and between the 70s and 80s along the coast and beach areas.
That's a little better than Saturday's mini heat wave, which broke some heat records: Burbank hit 101, Woodland Hills hit 103, and Downtown L.A. hit 99 degrees.

Yesterday's surprise heat caused issues on the trails too. The O.C. Fire authority says at least 15 people needed rescue for heat-related issues throughout the day.

In Riverside County, nine people received assistance. And in Hollywood, one hiker needed an airlift out of the hills.
Significant cooling is expected Monday, with low clouds and fog developing tomorrow night.
Specifically, max temperatures will fall across Los Angeles tomorrow — a 4 to 8 degree drop along the coast, and a 12 to 20 degree drop further inland. Valleys will be in the mid 60s to lower 70s tomorrow.
Come Tuesday, a chance of drizzle is in store.
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. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
