Sizzling Weather Expected For Last Weekend of Summer
Temperatures may reach the mid-80s at the beach and in the South Bay and the 90s on the Westside and in South L.A. County.
A wave of dry heat will sweep over the region Friday and Saturday, pushing temperatures to the mid-80s at the beaches and mid-90s away from the coast before the official start of fall next week.
Temperatures will begin to drop on Sunday and Monday, but forecasted temperatures in the 80s are still higher than normal, according to the National Weather Service.
To stay safe in the heat, drink plenty of non-alcoholic beverages, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, and never leave pets, children or the elderly in a vehicle. Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day.
