SoCal Braces for Back-to-Back Heat Records as LA Sees 90s to 100s
A multi-day heat wave hits Southern California with LA-area temperatures expected in the 90s (and inland near 100), likely tying or breaking more than a dozen local records. A coast-wide heat advisory (10 a.m.–8 p.m.) runs through Friday as officials warn of heat-related illness and urge precautions. Weak onshore winds mean slow cooling along the coast, with 95-degree highs in Pasadena, San Gabriel and Burbank and 94 in Long Beach; Santa Monica Pier may reach 85. Beach warnings due to high bacteria levels persist, and officials caution against heat exposure, especially for vulnerable groups. A second hot spell is forecast for early next week, potentially surpassing monthly records, while the risk of fires remains possible but not widespread thanks to recent rainfall.
