Record-Breaking Heat Wave in Southern California Eases Slightly
Southern California's record-breaking heat wave has begun to ease slightly, with temperatures dipping due to increased cloud cover. However, the National Weather Service warns that the heat will rebound on Friday, with triple-digit temperatures expected in many areas, including 111°F (43.9°C) in Canoga Park and 100°F (37.8°C) in downtown Los Angeles. The remnants of Tropical Storm Iselle are contributing to potential showers and thunderstorms, adding humidity to the already sweltering conditions. Thousands of residents have experienced power outages, with some still awaiting restoration.
