Southern California to See Cooler Temperatures and Lower Humidity

Southern California to See Cooler Temperatures and Lower Humidity

Southern California is set to experience a break from the recent stretch of heat and humidity, with temperatures forecasted to drop slightly below average starting Monday, 31 August 2026. According to Bryan Lewis, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Oxnard office, this trend is expected to continue throughout the week. Coastal areas may still experience some lingering humidity due to warm water temperatures, but overall moisture levels will be significantly lower compared to the previous week. The recent spike in humidity was attributed to the remnants of Tropical Storm Iselle. Additionally, there is a possibility of rain over the upcoming Labour Day weekend, linked to a developing tropical system off the coast of Mexico.

Tropical Disturbance Near Baja California May Bring Rain to Southern California

Tropical Disturbance Near Baja California May Bring Rain to Southern California

Meteorologists are monitoring a tropical disturbance near the southern tip of Baja California that could bring rain and elevated surf to Southern California over the upcoming weekend. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the system has not yet developed into a tropical storm, making it difficult to predict its exact impact. If the disturbance remains close to the coast, there is a 20% chance of rain and some coastal swells. However, if it drifts westward, similar to Hurricane Karina last weekend, the effects may be limited to high humidity and elevated surf. Experts note that the cold waters off the California coast typically weaken such systems before they reach the region. The last tropical storm to impact Southern California was Hurricane Hilary in August 2023, which brought record rainfall but weakened significantly upon landfall. (San Bernardino Sun, 2026-08-31)
