Orange County residents in coastal areas are advised to take immediate precautions as an Extreme Heat Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service San Diego. The warning is effective from today, October 5, at 11:29 AM PDT, and will remain in effect until Thursday, October 8, at 8:00 PM PDT.
Dangerously hot conditions are expected, with high temperatures ranging from the mid-80s to lower 90s at the beaches. Areas near higher coastal terrain could see temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.

Crucially, do not leave young children or pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in mere minutes. This warning applies specifically to Orange County Coastal Areas.
