On Monday at 8:38 a.m. the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA issued a heat advisory valid from Tuesday 10 a.m. until Thursday 8 p.m. The advisory is for Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands and Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands.

"Temperatures of 85 to 95 degrees," can be anticipated according to the NWS. "Humid conditions will add to the heat to potentially worsen heat impacts. Effects of the heat will build through the week, with warm overnight low temperatures providing little relief from the heat."

"There is a high risk for heat illness for sensitive populations including the very young, the very old, those without air conditioning, and those active outdoors," describes the NWS.

This advisory is in effect until Thursday at 8 p.m.

During heat waves, consider the following tips from the NWS

• Stay hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of fluids.
• Stay in an air-conditioned room.
• Check on others: Stay out of the sun, and make sure to check up on relatives and neighbors.
• Ensure child and pet safety: Do not leave young children and pets unattended in vehicles when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
• Take extra precautions outdoors: If you work or spend time outside, be sure to take additional safety measures.
• Consider the timing: When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
• Recognize warning signs: Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
• Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to stay comfortable.

To minimize risks during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises incorporating frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. If someone experiences heat-related symptoms, promptly relocate them to a cool and shaded spot. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
