Episode Details

Southern California’s sweltering heat is about to hit its peak—with triple-digit temps, extreme heat warnings, and fire risks soaring. While downtown LA stays in the low 90s, the Coachella Valley could hit 116 degrees, and inland valleys may reach 105. A high-pressure system and dry desert winds are trapping heat and drying out vegetation, creating dangerous fire conditions. Officials warn of heat illness risks, especially for seniors and kids, and urge everyone to hydrate and stay cool. The heat is also straining the power grid, spotlighting the need for better energy storage. A brief cooldown Friday night won’t last—another, possibly worse, heat wave looms next week. Meanwhile, L.A. County is rolling out a new affordable housing initiative, giving nonprofits a first look at apartment buildings for sale to prevent corporate landlords from pushing out tenants through rent hikes.
