A heat advisory warning of potential heat-related illnesses will be in effect Tuesday in Los Angeles, neighboring beach cities, and Orange County.
The heat advisory will be in effect from 11 Tuesday morning until 7 Tuesday evening in Los Angeles and Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Long Beach and portions of Ventura County. The high in those areas is expected to be 94 degrees, and “hot temperatures may cause heat illnesses to occur,” warned the National Weather Service.
“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
“Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible.
“To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911.”
A heat advisory will also be in effect from 11 Tuesday morning until 7 Tuesday evening in Orange County, where highs were expected to reach the low 100s.
Humidity levels in the Southland were expected to be a low 3 to 10 percent Tuesday, but no red flag warnings signifying a high risk of wildfire were immediately issued, unlike on Monday.
