93 Degree Temps Expected In Beverly Hills Through Friday

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — A little more than a week after a cold storm dumped snow in the local mountains and heavy rain across Los Angeles, a major heatwave is bringing temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above normal. A National Weather Service heat advisory will go into effect Wednesday with some parts of the region hitting triple-digit temperatures by Friday.

Beverly Hills is forecasted to hit a high of 89 degrees on Wednesday, climbing above 90 Thursday and Friday. Saturday temps will come back down to a high of 82 degrees, according to AccuWeather.

"It's a pretty significant heat wave," David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service told the Los Angeles Times. "It's not very typical for the first week of April."

Hot temperatures could make residents vulnerable to heat illnesses. As such, residents should stay hydrated and out of the sun and should check on neighbors and relatives throughout the week.

The heatwave is not expected to set temperature records.

Along with gusty winds, the heatwave is expected to cause an elevated fire risk.

"We have gusty winds, high surf, and hot temperatures all on the agenda for the weather this week," the weather service tweeted.

A cool down is expected to start on Saturday with temperatures returning to normal on Sunday when a high of 74 is expected
