Heat Advisory Affects Multiple Southern California Regions

A heat advisory has been issued for Los Angeles, Ventura counties, Santa Clarita Valley, and surrounding areas from Monday morning through Tuesday evening, with temperatures expected to reach up to 100 degrees. The National Weather Service (NWS) and local health officials warn that sensitive populations, including the very young, elderly, those without air conditioning, and outdoor workers, face a high risk of heat-related illness such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours, seek air-conditioned environments, and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in shaded or cool areas for outdoor workers. Authorities emphasize recognizing symptoms of heat illness and calling 911 in emergencies, while also advising the public to check on vulnerable neighbors and relatives. Additional precautions include wearing lightweight clothing, using sunscreen, and rescheduling strenuous activities to cooler parts of the day.
