Forecasters predict the Southland will experience hotter than normal temperatures for the foreseeable future. An extreme heat warning is currently in effect for certain areas, including Lake Los Angeles, Lancaster, and Palmdale, until at least Monday evening. A less severe heat advisory has been issued for other parts of the county during the same period.

The National Weather Service attributes the high temperatures to abnormally high ocean temperatures and humidities. Further details on the heat warning and expected temperatures are available from the National Weather Service and local news sources, including NBC Los Angeles.
