San Diego, CA – California is set to experience a significant weather pattern shift, with soaring temperatures and the return of monsoon moisture expected to impact the region. The National Weather Service in San Diego reports that temperatures will rise dramatically over the weekend, reaching into the triple digits in many areas.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday will see widespread highs of 90°F to 110°F across much of Southern California, with temperatures expected to peak on Tuesday as conditions become even hotter. Inland areas such as Palm Springs and El Centro could see temperatures as high as 110°F to 115°F, while coastal regions like San Diego will remain cooler, with highs around 85°F.
In addition to the heat, the forecast indicates a return of monsoon moisture by late Tuesday into Wednesday. This will bring an increased chance of thunderstorms, particularly in the mountains and deserts, where the probability of precipitation could reach 30%. These storms may bring brief but intense rainfall, along with the possibility of localized flooding and strong winds.
Residents are advised to take precautions during the heatwave by staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and keeping an eye on weather updates for potential storm developments. The combination of extreme heat and potential thunderstorms underscores the need for vigilance in the coming days.
