Heat Advisory Issued In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Even though Monday’s Red Flag Fire Warning is no longer in effect, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory.

The advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday in Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Orange County, and parts of Ventura County.

No fires burned in Malibu on Monday, even though deputies were on high alert after the Red Flag Warning and five brush fires around Southern California. On Tuesday, the NWS predicts that Malibu temperatures are expected to rise to 88 degrees, which is uncommonly hot for a city usually cooled by ocean breezes. Temperatures are expected to revert to the 70s for the rest of the week.

“Hot temperatures may cause heat illnesses to occur,” warned the National Weather Service. ``Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

“Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible.”
