The first significant heat event of the season is expected to spike temperatures across Southern California, particularly in the deserts.
While areas to the north will be more significantly affected, San Diego County will be under an excessive heat warning for the deserts from 10 a.m. Wednesday through 9 p.m. Friday."Things are going to change as we look ahead to the rest of your week," NBC 7 Meteorologist Brooke Martell said."We actually do have an excessive heat warning going into effect for the desert region Wednesday morning.
A ridge of high pressure is to blame for the temperature rise, which started earlier this week but is expected to peak Thursday and Friday.The mountains will see temperatures 8 to 12 degrees above average for this time of year. Along the coast, a weakening marine layer will still keep things relatively cool overnight and keep temperatures only a few degrees above average for this time of year.
"While inland areas will have their hottest weather so far this year, it is mostly not expected to be recording setting," the NWS said. The warm-up will start to break apart by the weekend and into next week but temperatures will still be higher than normal in the deserts, the NWS said.In anticipation of the extreme heat, San Diego County is opening 33 cool zones from June 1 to Oct. 31, at libraries, community centers and other locations.
An excessive heat warning is issued when extreme temperatures can cause illness or in some cases death. The county advises people to stay indoors where possible and drink plenty of water. Signs of heatstroke include dizziness, nausea, confusion and headache. Anyone suffering these symptoms should call 911.
