Hold onto your Hydroflask, it’s going to be brutal out there.
Today (Thursday, Sept. 5) will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than yesterday for coasts and valleys.
That means we expect to see some eye-popping numbers across Southern California where even the beaches are expected to reach the 80s. Areas along the inland coast will pay a price for the heat at the beach, with upper 90s forecast.
Some other notable forecasts:
- It could get as hot as 95 degrees in Culver City and hit triple digits in Anaheim.
- Today’s peak highs for the western San Fernando Valley will range from 105 to 114 degrees.
- San Gabriel and Santa Clarita valleys will reach up to 106 degrees.
- The Inland Empire is expected to hit to 112 degrees.
- Coachella Valley is expected to reach up to 119 degrees today.
What about tonight?
Tonight’s lows for interior areas will be in the 70s, but in the 80s for foothill communities, up to 89 degrees for Cathedral City.
