The National Weather Service has issued extreme heat warnings for Southern California, advising citizens to take precautions against the impending hot temperatures.
The hottest day of the week is predicted to arrive on Wednesday, when afternoon highs climb across the area. Parts of the Antelope Valley will be under an excessive heat advisory from 10 a.m. on Wednesday until 8 p.m. on Thursday. These places may see sweltering 106 degree heat.
Warnings of severe heat are in force from Wednesday morning until Friday evening, so residents of Apple Valley, Victorville, and Hesperia should expect similar circumstances.
Authorities are advising citizens to take preventative measures to avoid heat-related ailments in light of the present weather conditions. This entails drinking enough of water, seeking out cool spots to hide, avoiding lengthy sun exposure, and keeping an eye on your neighbors who may be in danger.
In addition to the high temperatures, poor air quality is predicted in several portions of the Southland, particularly in inland locations like Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Redlands. People who have respiratory issues should take extra care.
Although Thursday is expected to be another scorching day, high pressure is beginning to weaken, so there is some hope. Over the weekend, colder temperatures will be possible as a result of this.
