LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Summer heat lingers over Los Angeles as highs reach near 90°F Thursday, keeping roads and neighborhoods hot well into the afternoon. Drivers along I-5 and surface streets should expect bright, dry conditions, which may impact air quality and increase wildfire risks in surrounding foothills.
According to the National Weather Service, a light breeze from the southwest will build Thursday afternoon, with winds between 10 and 15 mph. The evening will cool only slightly, with lows dipping into the mid-60s. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity, and check in on vulnerable neighbors as September’s heat peaks one more time before fall conditions settle in.
Friday and Saturday stay sunny but slightly cooler, topping out in the high 80s with comfortable overnight lows in the 60s. Clear skies make for good visibility across the city, but warm afternoons could still strain cooling systems and prolong fire danger.
By Sunday, temperatures ease into the mid-80s, signaling the first hints of fall. Patchy morning fog returns Monday and Tuesday, especially near the coast, with daytime highs dropping into the low 80s. Early next week may bring some relief for outdoor workers and football fans heading to games across East L.A. and beyond.
Warnings remain limited, but officials remind residents that late-season heat can still pose risks. Keep devices charged, avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles, and prepare for shifting conditions as the weekend ends.
