July 4 Weekend To Bring Heat Relief To Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — With a weekday heat advisory in place until Tuesday night and temperatures soaring across Orange County, this July 4 weekend is expected to bring with it cooler weather and some cloud coverage to Laguna Beach.

Laguna Beach residents will see temperatures in the low '80s and high '70s Saturday through Sunday, with temperatures gradually dipping lower near city beaches, according to Accuweather.

On Independence Day, residents can expect temperatures in the high '70s throughout the day, with about 40 percent cloud coverage in the skies throughout the morning.

According to Accuweather, humidity will likely be at about 42 percent as the morning ventures into the afternoon.

Once the clouds burn off, residents can expect a sunny and temperate Independence Day.

In anticipation of Independence Day, the City of Laguna Beach reminded residents that no fireworks of any kind are allowed in the city — that includes sparkles, fountains and other fireworks labeled "safe and sane."

Residents looking to enjoy the city-sponsored fireworks show on Monday at 9 p.m. were also asked to abide by the following while enjoying the show:

• No alcohol on beaches.
• No smoking in public places.
• No single-use plastics are allowed on beaches, trails or parks.
• No drone use over city beaches, Heisler Park, Main Beach Park, Treasure Island Park or Crescent Bay Park without a valid Remote Pilot Certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.
• No canopies, awnings, umbrellas, tents or covers wider or taller than six feet in any public beach or park.
• *Note: Any canopy, awning, umbrella, tent or cover installed should have no more than one side closed to public view.
• No portable barbecues on city beaches or in parks.
• No dogs are allowed on city beaches from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer season.
• All OC Parks trails will be closed at sunset come Monday.

Ordinances will be "strictly enforced" by the Laguna Beach Police, Fire and Marine Safety Departments, the city said.

Residents should expect heavy traffic after the fireworks show due to an influx of visitors leaving via Laguna Canyon Road and Coast Highway. Officers with the Laguna Beach Police Department will be increasing traffic control to facilitate the flow of cars out of town, the city said.

Laguna Beach City Trolleys will operate under a modified schedule on Monday. The Coastal Route will run from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the Canyon Route will run from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The city's fireworks show starts at 9 p.m. Monday from Monument Point in Heisler Park. For more information, view VisitLagunaBeach.com.
