Excessive heat warnings will remain in place for the next few days, as searing temperatures continue to roast much of Southern California, increasing the risk of brush fires and putting a mounting strain on the state’s power grid.
At 2:30 p.m., Long Beach reported a record high of 108 degrees, breaking the previous record of 107 set in 1988, according to the National Weather Service. This was Aguilar’s first visit to the marketplace and he debuted with a round of oysters and a few chilled beers. “There’s a far-ranging heat dome over much of the western United States,” Brian Ferguson, spokesman for the state Office of Emergency Services, said Sunday. “That’s bringing multiple challenges into our state, the most significant of which are the sustained high temperatures, which are a danger to our vulnerable communities throughout the state, elevated fire risks, and the stress that’s being placed on our electrical grid.
“We want to quickly identify and put out fires where they start,” he said. “We know that these heat domes have been an issue in the past and if a fire does start we want to be in position.”The temperature in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley is expected to peak at 113 degrees on Sunday before falling to 111 on Monday, said Sirard, of the National Weather Service.
