Heat Wave Brings Triple-Digit Temps to Riverside County

Riverside County is bracing for a prolonged heat wave that is expected to bring temperatures exceeding 100°F (37.8°C) well into October. According to meteorologists, the Inland Empire will experience peak daytime highs ranging from 98°F to 105°F (36.7°C to 40.6°C) between Friday and Sunday. Overnight lows will remain in the low 70s°F (21°C), potentially tying or breaking record-high minimum temperatures for valley locations.

The National Weather Service warns of widespread moderate to major HeatRisk conditions during this period.
