A heat advisory is in effect from 10 a.m. Monday until 6 p.m. Tuesday for the Santa Clarita Valley and Los Angeles County inland coast, with some inland areas reaching about 100°F. Temperatures across inland valleys and mountain-adjacent areas are expected five to ten degrees above normal with uncomfortably warm evenings. A south swell at the beaches could create dangerously strong rip currents; beachgoers should set up near lifeguards and check conditions before entering the water. Elevated temperatures increase fire risk even with mild winds and raise the chance of heat-related illnesses for older adults, children, and pets. Drink cool water, take breaks, avoid peak heat hours, and never leave children or animals in cars.
Temperatures will be on the rise in Los Angeles County throughout Labor Day weekend, prompting officials to warn of potentially hazardous temperatures. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory that will be in effect from 10 a.m. Monday, Labor Day, until 6 p.m. Tuesday for the Santa Clarita Valley and Los Angeles County inland coast, with temperatures up to 100 degrees expected in some places.
But those looking to flock to the coast during the holiday weekend should also be on alert: a south swell at the beach could create dangerously strong rip currents. It's a good idea to set up your blanket or umbrella near a lifeguard and check in before jumping into the water, Kittell said. Away from the coast, rising temperatures will increase the risk of fires, even with relatively mild winds.
