Summer may be winding down, but Mother Nature is turning up the heat across the region again this week, with record-breaking temperatures possible in some areas.
“High pressure building over the region will bring hot weather to areas away from the coast through Wednesday,” according to the National Weather Service.
The hottest temperatures were expected to be Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 29, the forecasters said.
In Orange County, a heat advisory will be in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday for the Santa Ana Mountains and foothills and inland areas. Those areas are expected to see temperatures of 95 to 100 degrees, according to the NWS.
Significant cooling is likely later in the week, forecasters said.
The NWS advised people to drink plenty of fluids, stay indoors if possible in an air-conditioned room, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Children and pets should never be left inside vehicles without air conditioning for any length of time, as death could occur in minutes when temperatures are this high.
