The official start of summer is just around the corner, but temperatures are already beginning to heat up this week.
If you're at the beach today, temperatures are going to stay on the cooler side, with highs from 68 to 73 degrees in L.A. County, and between 70 and 77 degrees along the Orange County coast.
However, be careful in the water — forecasters say there's going to be dangerous rip currents and breaking waves from elevated surf up to 6 feet tall. Those conditions will last through Thursday.
Elsewhere, we're looking at highs of between 78 and 86 degrees for the valleys and up to 89 degrees for the Inland Empire.
Over in Coachella Valley, temperatures could climb up to 104 degrees. Stay hydrated!
