More hot weather is in the forecast for the Southland this week
After a slight cool-down on Labor Day, the weather is expected to heat up for the rest of the week, pushing temperatures in some inland areas past 100 degrees.
There will also be a chance of more humidity, said David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
“We know it’s going to be hot. We’re just not sure about humidity,†he said.
Highs on Tuesday are forecast to be in the mid-70s to 80s at the beaches and upper-80s to mid-90s inland. Conditions will be hotter in the valleys, with highs for much of the week expected to be in the mid-90s to mid-100s.
The recent hot, humid weather has been caused by a southerly flow transporting air from more tropical locations, including Mexico, to Southern California, Sweet said.
