San Diego County is expected to experience a weather rollercoaster this week, with respite arriving by the weekend after blistering heat in some areas.
The National Weather Service predicts that temperatures will remain high throughout the county until Wednesday, with mountain regions under a heat advisory through Monday night.
As high pressure systems move over the county’s desert areas, an excessive heat warning is in effect through Tuesday evening, making the already harsh conditions even worse.
According to the NWS, Monday’s high temperatures are predicted to be 71 to 76 degrees near the coast, 78 to 82 degrees inland, 81 to 85 degrees in the western lowlands, 89 to 94 degrees near the foothills, 88 to 98 degrees in the mountains, and 111 to 115 degrees in the deserts.
Through the beginning of next week, inland daytime maximum temperatures will continue to be above average, with a significant risk of heat at low elevations in and west of the mountains and a serious danger of heat in the low deserts.#C2sZxGplBQ #CAwxpic.twitter.com
