SoCal heat wave expected to start easing Monday

(From the latimes.com) The heat wave that has scorched Southern California for several days is expected to ebb starting Monday as temperatures cool and humidity falls. The region will have cooled as much as 15 degrees by midweek after reaching highs of 93 in downtown Los Angeles, 97 at Getty Center and 108 in Chatsworth on Saturday, forecasters said.

But the heat remained at full strength Sunday, prompting the weekend’s second excessive heat warning from the National Weather Service.

Many took refuge at beaches, pools and air-conditioned shopping malls. Others lay low at home, staying within range of a window fan or shaded patio.

In Norwalk, Joel and Maria Lopez actually relished the heat, which seemed perfect for barbecuing and soaking in their backyard pool.
