Another heat advisory issued for SLO County. How hot will it get this time?
A second wave of unseasonably high heat is set to roll over parts of San Luis Obispo County this week, coming just days after a slew of extreme temperatures broke several heat records.
The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for SLO County beaches and the inland coast from 10 a.m. Monday through 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The advisory included Morro Bay, Cambria, Hearst Castle, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, Lopez Lake, Nipomo and Arroyo Grande, the weather service said.
“Warmer than normal conditions are expected to persist through the week, peaking on Tuesday,” the weather service’s forecast discussion said.
Temperatures on the Central Coast could spike up to 96 degrees, according to the advisory.
In San Luis Obispo, the high is forecast to be 90 degrees on Monday and 91 degrees on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service’s 7-day forecast. Temperatures will dip into the high 80s starting on Wednesday.
In Morro Bay, it will reach up to 84 degrees on both Monday and Tuesday. The high is expected to be around 81 degrees on Wednesday, before dropping down into the 70s for the rest of the week, according to the weather service’s forecast.
Similar conditions are expected in Paso Robles with a high around 84 degrees on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will remain in the low 80s from Wednesday through Saturday, the forecast said.
While the advisory is in effect, the weather service warned that temperatures will reach unsafe levels for sensitive populations including “the very young, the very old, those without air conditioning and those active outdoors.”
The weather service advised impacted residents to stay hydrated, stay in air-conditioned rooms, avoid the sun and check in on at-risk individuals.
