With an extreme heat warning in effect through Friday, residents in Los Angeles County are looking for places to stay cool.
“We have an extreme heat warning for areas away from the immediate coast, and what this means is that everyone, not just those sensitive to heat, but everyone will be at risk for heat illness, especially because we have temperatures overnight staying elevated,” Kristen Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told KNX News’ Jon Baird. “So, really not much relief during this four-day stretch.”
Building high pressure will lead to an extended period of hot temps, with highs peaking Tues - Fri this week. Temps will continue to be warm overnight, and may not provide much relief to heat stress overnight. #CAwx #Socal #LA #Heat pic.twitter.com/R4Fy8z9v8D

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass urged residents to stay out of the sun and in the air conditioning. Supervisor Hilda Solis said that more than 100 cooling centers are opening across the county, and many of them are pet-friendly.
