SoCal heat wave brings dangerous temperatures. Here's where it will be hottest

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by KABC, ABC7 Los Angeles (KABC) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Another heat wave moves into Southern California this week, prompting a heat advisory and extreme heat warning as temperatures soar.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

For residents of the small incorporated city of Los Angeles, the mild conditions on Father's Day will be a welcome respite before the heat sets in. As the city is entirely surrounded by Greater Los Angeles, its residents will likely be affected by the same weather patterns as the larger metropolitan area. The upcoming warmup will put the city's infrastructure and services to the test, particularly its police department and emergency services. Additionally, families with children in the Los Angeles Unified School District may want to take precautions to ensure their kids stay cool and safe during outdoor activities. With the city's own government and services, residents can expect a localized response to the heat wave, which will be crucial in mitigating its effects on the community. The city's residents should stay informed about the Extreme Heat Watch and take necessary precautions to stay safe.
