Long, ‘dangerously hot’ heat wave heads to inland San Diego – The San Diego Union-Tribune

By Thomas A. Smith

A dangerously hot heat wave that could last up to two weeks will begin to settle in on Monday, steadily pushing temperatures across inland San Diego County into the 90s and 100s, the National Weather Service said.

An excessive heat watch will be in effect from the valleys to the deserts from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 8 p.m. on Sunday, a period in which the temperature could reach 116 degrees on state route 78 in the Ocotillo Wells area. Borrego Springs will top out at 115.

The dangers include an increased risk of wildfires on the eastern slopes of the mountains and in desert communities.
