Inland Heat Continues On Labor Day In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — High pressure over California brought hot weather to inland areas this Labor Day weekend, with temperatures in the 90s Monday.

Meanwhile, a south swell at San Diego County beaches was expected to elevate surf and create dangerous swimming conditions, including a high risk of rip currents, the National Weather Service said.

The heat, combined with very low afternoon minimum humidity of around 10%, could elevate the wildfire danger through Tuesday.

A heat advisory was extended until 9 p.m. Friday for San Diego County mountains, where highs were expected to be around 101 degrees Monday, and hover in the upper 80s and upper 90s all week.

Highs ranged between 87 and 92 Monday in the western valleys and between 94 and 99 near the foothills.

Cooling was expected to spread farther inland midweek as the high pressure drifts to the north and east, forecasters said.

Monsoonal moisture Thursday and Friday was expected across Southern California, increasing the chance for showers and thunderstorms, the NWS said.
