MURRIETA, CA —Temecula Valley, the Pass Area and Coachella Valley residents can expect another day of Heat Advisories and Excessive Heat Warnings, according to the National Weather Service.

The Heat Advisory includes both San Bernardino and Riverside County Valleys across the Inland Empire, including the cities of Beaumont, Banning, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Temecula, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, Moreno Valley, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, and Corona.

Dangerously hot conditions have prompted the National Weather Service to issue an extended Excessive Heat Warning for the Coachella Valley and parts of Riverside County today through 8 p.m. Friday for Indio, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Coachella, and Borrego Springs with temperatures expected between 112 and 117.

During the excessive heat warning, residents should do their best to drink lots of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, and stay out of the direct sun.

"Check up on relatives and neighbors," meteorologists said. "Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances."

Along with the warning came a list of extra precautions to take 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.
• To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments.
• Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.

Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911 if you or someone you know is suffering from the heat.
