Southern California is bracing for one of the most intense heat waves of the summer, with temperatures reaching up to 114 degrees in parts of San Diego County. The National Weather Service has issued extreme heat warnings across the region, including Los Angeles and Ventura counties, as fire weather conditions are set to increase. Governor Newsom has pre-deployed firefighting resources to Los Angeles County in anticipation of the heat and potential wildfires. Local authorities are setting up cooling and hydration centers to assist residents during the sweltering conditions, with temperatures expected to soar into the triple digits. As the heat wave begins on Wednesday, officials warn of the accompanying risks of extreme heat and fire hazards.
