SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Southern California is bracing for an extended heat wave that will push temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above normal for at least 10 days.
Heat peak will be Saturday October 3 and on Wednesday October 7.
Bad news, typical Santa Ana winds could start on Friday afternoon into the weekend and the Big-O high-pressure system will begin shifting back toward Arizona before the weekend, bringing afternoon highs over 100° to 105+° to parts of the Inland Empire Valleys. For the high and low deserts and mountain cities will be normal hot temps.
This will cause the overnight temps to be in the high 70’s or higher. This will be no relief at night.
You can guarantee this they will issue an Extreme Heat Warnings and Advisories for parts of SoCal.
Hot afternoons in October are not uncommon in Southern California but it’s a little hotter in normal temps.
To put over 5 days in a row with temperatures above the average, that’s why it’s a heat wave.

Avoid exercise in the middle of the day. If you need to exercise outside, do it early in the morning when the temperature is lower.

Turn off big appliances and help prevent black-outs!
Make sure your pets have shade and lots of water.
