The mercury has been rising in Southern California, and the NWS San Diego isn't predicting any relief until the weekend. Highs today in San Diego County are cruising from around 80 near the coast to a scorching 106 in the inland valleys. And if you think that’s hot, the lower deserts are reaching a sizzling 110 to 115 degrees, as per the National Weather Service San Diego.
Tomorrow, temperatures will climb even higher, with a few to around 5 degrees warmer than Wednesday, especially for inland areas where heat will dance to 10 to 15 degrees above the usual. Highs for the Inland Empire will hit between 102 and 110 degrees. The coastal regions, meanwhile, can expect highs in the lower to mid-80s, offering some solace in the sea breezes. Relief from the heat will mostly be located at the beaches with inviting high temperatures in the 80s, according to the National Weather Service.
The real kicker isn't just the daytime blaze but also the nights, in which warmer nights will offset slight daytime cooling to maintain extreme HeatRisk, especially for valleys and inland Orange County over the weekend.
