At 11:17 a.m. on Monday, the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA released an updated heat advisory valid from Wednesday 10 a.m. until Friday 8 p.m. for Los Angeles.

"Temperatures up to 90 degrees expected," describes the NWS. "The warmest temperatures with this event are expected to occur Wednesday and Thursday afternoons with only a very modest cool down Friday providing little relief. Temperatures are expected to cool down slightly more over the weekend, but remain above normal into the following week."

"There is a high risk for heat illness for sensitive populations including the very young, the very old, those without air conditioning, and those active outdoors," explains the NWS.

This advisory is in effect until Friday at 8 p.m.

Ways to stay safe in the heat according to the NWS

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids.
• Seek cool shelter: Opt for an air-conditioned room to stay comfortable.
• Check on others: Stay out of the sun, and make sure to check up on relatives and neighbors.
• Prioritize child and pet safety: Be vigilant about never leaving young children and pets in vehicles without supervision, especially during periods of intense heat, as car interiors can quickly become extremely hot.
• Be cautious outdoors: Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
• Time your activities wisely: If possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening when the heat is less intense.
• Familiarize yourself with warning signs: Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
• Stay cool with clothing: Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing.

To minimize risks during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises incorporating frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. If someone experiences heat-related symptoms, promptly relocate them to a cool and shaded spot. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
