Dangerously high temperatures will also affect the Inland Empire, inland Orange County, the valleys in San Diego County and the deserts and mountains. <\/p>\n<p>By Wednesday, the thermometer could hit 105 degrees in Lancaster, 103 in Canoga Park, 98 in Santa Clarita, 95 in Covina, 89 in downtown L.A., 86 in Santa Barbara and Thousand Oaks, and 85 in Long Beach. Temperatures later this week are expected to exceed 100 degrees in the Inland Empire and in some areas of San Diego County\u2019s interior valleys, and surpass 110 in the deserts, said Sebastian Westerink, meteorologist with the weather service\u2019s San Diego office. <\/p>\n<p>Meteorologists also warned of the potential for critical fire weather conditions in interior areas starting Tuesday and lasting through Monday. Forecasters warned of weak-to-moderate sundowner winds across southwestern Santa Barbara County in the late afternoon and evenings from Tuesday through Thursday. The hot, dry winds move down the southern slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains and risk spreading fires rapidly if there\u2019s an ignition. <\/p>\n<p>Heading to the beach to get a break from the heat could be perilous. <\/p>\n<p>Dangerous waves on the beaches were expected courtesy of Tropical Storm Elida, which originated off of southern Mexico. Elida began moving in a more northerly direction a few days ago, and is expected to cause high surf. Forecasters warned of dangerous swimming conditions from Elida, especially on south-facing beaches, this week. Beaches could get surf heights of 4 to 8 feet. <\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-left=\"\">\n<figure class=\"figure m-0\"> <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/fca0fbb\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/320x263!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 320w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/613dce6\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/568x466!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 568w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/b8ccd35\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/768x630!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 768w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/05558c6\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/1024x841!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 1024w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/3db82d5\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/1200x985!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 1200w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><img class=\"image\" alt=\"Tropical Storm Elida is expected to bring hazardous surf to Southern California beaches this week.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/50fd20c\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/320x263!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 320w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/7a8b2b1\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/568x466!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 568w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/002c5cb\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/768x630!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 768w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/aae6742\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/1024x841!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 1024w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/df901f0\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/1200x985!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" width=\"1200\" height=\"985\" src=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/df901f0\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/897x736+0+0\/resize\/1200x985!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fd8%2F34%2F444d7e8845e5afa2ebf436aebe02%2F778077-5day-cone.png\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>   <\/picture>\n<div class=\"figure-content\">\n<p>Tropical Storm Elida is expected to bring hazardous surf to Southern California beaches this week.<\/p>\n<p>(National Weather Service)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>Orange County is already experiencing waves 4 to 6 feet high at its south-facing beaches, \u201cwith some sets 6 to 8 feet,\u201d Westerink said. \u201cWe\u2019re anticipating those waves to kind of stay elevated through at least Tuesday.\u201d They might subside for a little bit, but another system \u2014 Tropical Storm Fausto \u2014 could generate \u201canother set of elevated swell at our beaches later this week into the weekend.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Fausto is moving west, which is typical as tropical storms generally follow warmer waters.

A plume of moisture from the tail of the tropical storm, however, had already arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday and was expected to last a few more days, bringing a chance of sprinkles or very light rain, with isolated lightning strikes, across parts of the Bay Area and Central Coast. The potential for that is greatest Monday morning and again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. <\/p>\n<p>There could be some colorful sunsets and sunrises, said meteorologist Lamont Bain of the weather service\u2019s Monterey office. The phenomena were observed earlier this month thanks to monsoon moisture coming from the south and bringing midlevel clouds. The setting sun illuminates the bottoms of those clouds and creates the beautiful sunsets.<\/p>\n<p>Tropical Storm Elida has been a factor in the rise in relative humidity in the Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay areas, weather service meteorologists said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing it in the humidity that we\u2019ve all been feeling,\u201d Kennedy said. <\/p>\n<p>The ongoing <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/environment\/story\/2026-04-16\/ocean-california-sst-enso-blob-marine-warming\">marine heat wave<\/a> off Southern California may also be playing a factor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conditions that we\u2019re feeling at the coast \u2014 the kind of muggy air \u2014 is a result of our warmer sea surface temperatures,\u201d Westerink said. \u201cLike our beaches: I mean San Clemente, 76 degrees \u2014 that\u2019s incredible \u2014 74 at Solana, 72 at Newport. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ocean has a very strong influence on the temperature of the air,\u201d he added, \u201cbecause it\u2019s almost heating the air above it &#8230; and it\u2019s also giving it moisture and humidity.

High pressure causes colder air to sink in the atmosphere, where it compresses, warms up and dries out. <\/p>\n<p>Avoid working outside in the extreme heat if you can, Ciliberti said, and if you do need to work, \u201cyou want to take frequent breaks in the shade as needed.\u201d People should stay in air-conditioned places if they can, and avoid walking your dogs during the peak heat of the day. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever leave children or pets in a parked car,\u201d Ciliberti said. <\/p>\n<p>The heat has continued to be hotter than average. <\/p>\n<p>California had its hottest January-through-June period on record, dating back to 1895, according to the <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncei.noaa.gov\/access\/monitoring\/monthly-report\/global\/202606\" target=\"_blank\">National Centers for Environmental Information<\/a>, as did Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if we look over the last 12 months as a whole, the last 12-month period is actually the warmest on record for the lower 48 [states],\u201d climate scientist Zachary Labe of the nonprofit Climate Central said in a briefing last week. \u201cSo it\u2019s been a very warm period in recent months, and really years, for that matter.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The driver of the unrelenting pace of record temperatures, Labe said, is human-caused climate change. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southern California will face a double threat this week of a dangerous heat wave and, along the coast, hazardous high waves.
