"California Braces for Another Dangerous Heat Wave with Potential Flooding and Moderate Heat Risk"

A "dangerously hot" heat wave is expected to hit inland San Diego County, with temperatures reaching the 90s and 100s for up to two weeks. An excessive heat watch will be in effect, with temperatures potentially reaching 116 degrees in certain areas. The heat wave poses an increased risk of wildfires and is caused by a high-pressure system centered over Arizona and New Mexico. Motorists are advised to stock up on water and check their vehicle's air conditioning systems. The heat wave comes amid rising concerns about climate change, as the average global temperature hit a record high. Local beaches and the county's Cool Zones program offer some relief from the heat.
