The City of Los Angeles will open cooling facilities in South LA, the San Fernando Valley and the Eastside so residents and their pets can get a break from the scorching heat expected across Southern California’s inland and valley areas over the next few days.
The National Weather Service on Saturday issued a heat or superheat warning for LA County, excluding the Santa Monica Mountains, coastal area and downtown LA, for a three-day period starting Sunday.
Temperatures are expected to range from 95 to 105 degrees in LA County, according to Robbie Munroe, a meteorologist with the weather service in Oxnard. In the Antelope Valley, temperatures are expected to reach 100 to 110 degrees.
Munroe said cooler temperatures will move in Wednesday.
The five Los Angeles cold storage facilities will be in operation Sunday through Tuesday, from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pets are allowed.
