Los Angeles residents will battle dangerous heat again on Sunday, with temperatures peaking in the low 90s across East L.A. and the downtown core. Health officials warn the heat could impact outdoor workers and anyone traveling along major corridors such as I-10, I-5, and U.S. 101 during the hottest part of the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Oxnard, an Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect until 9 p.m. Sunday, August 24. Daytime highs will push to 91°F, with little relief until after sunset. Officials urge residents to limit strenuous activity, stay hydrated, and avoid leaving children or pets in parked vehicles.
Saturday’s high of 95°F already strained cooling centers in Los Angeles County, particularly in East L.A., Glendale, and Pasadena. Power usage is expected to spike again Sunday, prompting Southern California Edison to remind customers to conserve electricity during peak demand hours.
Heat will ease slightly Monday, with highs near 88°F, and cooler afternoons expected by midweek. Skies remain clear throughout, reducing humidity but keeping direct sun exposure intense. Travelers heading through Los Angeles International Airport or along the Pacific Coast Highway should also prepare for hot, sunny conditions.
Residents should check on vulnerable neighbors, use shaded routes when walking, and plan outdoor events for early morning or evening. Emergency managers note additional advisories may follow if power outages occur or wildfire risk increases in the foothills.
