Southern California will continue to experience an extreme heat wave, but experts say there will be temporary cooling off starting next week. The respite will be small, though, as forecasts for a new week's increase in temperatures are toward the second half.

The Valleys will experience temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service ( NWS), while the Antelope Valley could experience temperatures higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Records for southern areas will range between 70 and 80 degrees.

Officials are putting a heat advisory in place throughout the region until Monday night because of the danger high temperatures present, particularly for older people, children, and those with chronic illnesses.

Steam raises the possibility of flames

The persistent high temperatures have started to dry out foliage and encourage the spread of forest fires, among other health-related effects.

11 new fires have been reported in California since the start of the year, including fires in Riverside and San Diego regions, according to data cited by the Los Angeles Times.

Additionally, the warm environment has prevented enough cooling at evening, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.

According to preliminary data from the NWS, the Santa Barbara aircraft also set a record for 95 degrees Celsius, surpassing the all-time high for that day set in 2016.

shores with powerful currents and waves

Experts predict that the temperature will increase once more between Monday and Wednesday, even though the forecast predicts a few degrees of decline.

The National Weather Service keeps emails for rip currents and waves of between 1 and 2 feet on beaches in Los Angeles, Ventura County, and a portion of the northern coast of California at the same time.

Meteorologists explain that the most dangerous conditions will occur on beaches and ports facing south and southwest, so they recommend extreme caution during the weekend.

Although scientists cannot yet attribute this specific episode to climate change, various studies agree that global warming has made heat waves increasingly frequent, intense and prolonged in the western United States.
