🌡️A warming trend begins tomorrow & is likely to persist into early next week. Temperatures have the potential to exceed 90°F by Monday & Tuesday. Wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, try to stay out of the sun, & check back for the most up-to-date forecast! #CAwx #BayAreaWX

🚨The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the region, including Malibu, from 10 AM Thursday to 8 PM Friday, with temperatures of 90–100°F expected (lower on the coast). Hot weather is expected for about 7 days. NEVER leave kids or pets in vehicles! 🥵While Malibu’s coast will be a bit cooler, temperatures in the Santa Monica Mountains will be very hot. ☀️There is a high risk of heat illness for sensitive groups, including young children, older adults, people without air conditioning, and those active outdoors. SAFETY TIPS: • NEVER leave children or pets unattended in cars – it can be deadly! • Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day • Drink plenty of water • Avoid hiking except very early in the morning • Do not take dogs hiking - they can quickly overheat and may not show warning signs Weather updates: weather.gov/lox/ Heat safety tips: ready.lacounty.gov/heat @nwslosangeles

Debris burning can reduce wildfire risk in rural California—but when done carelessly, it can also start one. Multiple CAL FIRE Units have recently responded to escaped debris burns. Before you burn: 🔥 Secure a permit at BurnPermit.ca.gov 🔥 Check that burning is allowed in your area that day 🔥 Clear a safe area around the pile 🔥 Keep water and tools nearby Never leave a burn unattended, and make sure the fire is dead out before you leave. If a burn starts to escape, call 911 immediately. #CALFIRE #DebrisBurning #WildfireSafety
