Along with the mostly sunny and hot summer days, the NWS has also projected a small chance of showers and a 20 percent possibility of thunderstorms throughout the week.

Officials have advised residents on how to stay safe and cool for the heat advisory warning, especially in regard to the elderly and young children.

“When temperatures are high, even a few hours of exertion may cause severe dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Others who are frail or have chronic health conditions may develop serious health problems leading to death if they are exposed to high temperatures over several days,” said Jeffrey Gunzenhauser, MD, MPH, Interim Health Officer, Los Angeles County.

“Thus, it is critically important to never leave children, elderly people, or pets unattended in homes with no air conditioning and particularly in vehicles, even if the windows are ‘cracked’ or open, as temperatures inside can quickly rise to life-threatening levels. If you have an elderly or infirm neighbor without air conditioning, make sure that they get to a cooling center or other air conditioned space between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m,” said Gunzenhauser.

Sheriff’s Station officials have also issued advice regarding the high heat this week, and have discussed ways residents can fend off the heat.

“It’s going to be hot in SCV with a high of 106,” said the official Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Facebook page. “Try to limit time outside (and) if you don’t have air conditioning, go to a public place like the mall or a library to stay cool.”

In preparation for the heat, the County Department of Public Health has established Cooling Stations throughout the Santa Clarita Valley in order to offer information regarding heat safety and assistance in the event of heat exhaustion or dehydration.
