Los Angeles, CA – Southern California is under an excessive heat warning this week, with temperatures expected to reach up to 110°F in some areas. The National Weather Service issued the warning, advising residents to avoid outdoor activities and stay hydrated. The alert is in effect from Wednesday at 11 a.m. through Friday at 8 p.m., with advisories also issued for coastal regions.
According to the National Weather Service, dangerously high temperatures between 95°F and 110°F are expected during the peak hours, creating a high risk for heat-related illnesses, particularly for the elderly, young children, and those without air conditioning. The advisory also warns that warm overnight lows will offer little relief, making it critical to take precautions during the hottest periods.
Health officials urge everyone to limit outdoor activities, wear lightweight clothing, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Beach areas, under a heat advisory starting Thursday, are expected to see slightly lower but still intense temperatures. The excessive heat warning could extend into the weekend, so residents are encouraged to stay informed and take safety measures.
