San Diegans should brace for a warm start to the week, with temperatures set to climb across the region. According to the National Weather Service Forecast Office in San Diego, coastal areas will see mid 70s to low 80s today, while inland valleys could experience thermometers pushing between 90 and 95 degrees. The Inland Empire is forecasted with blistery temps from 95 up to 101 degrees. Meanwhile, the High Desert will simmer at 95 to 100 degrees, with the Low Desert peaking at 108 to 112 degrees. Mountain regions may feel like an escape with milder 80s.
For those who find solace in the prospect of coastal fog, it might be thinning to reveal more of the sky. As described by the National Weather Service San Diego's Area Forecast Discussion, "Low clouds are patchy and mostly restricted". These dispersed clouds must suggest to the community the morning marine layer is breaking apart, with a "deepening marine layer" expected to return later in the week, potentially providing some relief from the heat.
Looking forward to Tuesday, it's gearing up to be even hotter. Coastal highs are projected to reach the upper 70s to mid 80s, while those in the valleys might tackle the low 90s up to 100 degrees. Highs in both the Inland Empire and High Desert might soar to a molten 100-105 degrees and 100-104 degrees, respectively. Not to be outdone, the Low Desert is forecasted to swelter at 109-115 degrees, according to the NWS Forecast Office San Diego.
The marine conditions across the period won't pose significant troubles, with "No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Friday", as sea breezes potentially reach gales of up to 20 knots on consecutive afternoons, reported by the National Weather Service San Diego. Residents looking towards the end of the week can anticipate a downward temperature trend with the possibility of "gusty westerly winds in the mtns and deserts on Friday and Saturday."
Residents with flexible schedules might target Thursday and Friday as days to find relief from the mercury climb. Temperatures are expected to descend as Wednesday rolls around, with "daytime high temps as much as 14 degrees below seasonal averages west of the mtns" by Friday. This forecast from the 7 DAY FORECAST SAN DIEGO foreshadows the city's more comfortable end to the week. For now, though, San Diego will be warming up, and it would be prudent for everyone to stay hydrated and cool as much as possible.
