The Southern California area, known for its typically sunny disposition, will continue to experience temperatures that veer on the side of moderate. Coastal areas can expect highs ranging from 69 to 74 degrees, while the western valleys and inland portions of Orange County may see slightly warmer temperatures between 74 and 81 degrees today. The NWS has also projected that inland valleys will warm to somewhere between 81 and 91 degrees, with the mountain areas at 4000 to 7000 feet enjoying cooler highs of 75 to 85 degrees. The high desert will face temperatures up to 100 degrees, while the low desert may experience a scorching 102 to 107 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in San Diego.

Though Monday’s forecasts show a slight decrease in temperature across different regions, it remains clear that the overall cooling trend will persevere throughout the week. The low-pressure system seems to be taking charge and is pushing the usual monsoonal moisture out, bringing temperatures near or below seasonal averages.
NWS San Diego forecasts indicated that low clouds and fog in the marine layer would frequent the coastal and valley regions at night and in the mornings. The extensive low pressure dominating the pattern this week keeps things cool, but it’s also nudging daytime temperatures to sit at or below what people usually expect this time of year. Even the lower deserts won’t escape this cooler-than-average spell…
