Pasadena joined much of the Southland under a heat advisory Monday, as temperatures were expected to climb above 100 degrees for the second day in a row.
The advisories were in effect until 8 p.m. Monday.
Pasadena reached 101 on Sunday, with 101 expected again on Monday.
The very warm and dry conditions will produce elevated fire weather conditions through the middle of the week, with brief critical conditions in the windiest areas, according to the NWS.
Temperatures are expected to drop slightly beginning Wednesday and stay relatively mild heading into next weekend.
As usual during heat waves, forecasters urged people to drink plenty of fluids, seek out air conditioned spaces and check in on vulnerable relatives and neighbors.
“Extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat-related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities,” according to the NWS.
“Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.”
