Excessive Heat conditions are forecasted to continue across the lower mountain elevations of Southwestern California through the Fourth of July. It will remain hot and humid across the mountains, especially at the lower elevations. Heat Index readings will climb between 100 and 105 degrees in many lower elevation locations each afternoon. Higher mountain elevations will also see temperatures approach record levels with temperatures well into the 80 and 90 degrees. Very warm temperatures will continue into the night time hours with the warmest locations experiencing minimum temperatures in the 70 to low 80 degrees.
Precautionary Preparedness Actions:
To reduce risk during outdoor work the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat Stroke emergency – call 911. Also, never leave children, seniors/older adults or pets in enclosed vehicles even for a short period of time. Even if the windows are partially open 5temperatures can quickly rise to life-threatening levels.
