The summer heat is here to stay - at least for the next week.
Most of inland San Luis Obispo County will be under a heat advisory from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 8 p.m. Monday, with temperatures peaking in the triple digits in some places, according to the National Weather Service.
Hot daytime temperatures could reach between 97 and 107 degrees, and warm overnight conditions will bring less relief than usual, the weather service said.
The forecast predicts high 80s near San Luis Obispo through Saturday, with the highest temperatures expected in North County. Coastal temperatures will remain in the low 70s, the forecast said.
“There is a high risk for dangerous heat illness, especially for sensitive groups like the very young, the very old, those without air conditioning and those active outdoors,” the weather service advisory said.
The weather service advises drinking lots of fluids, staying out of the sun and in air-conditioned rooms and checking on relatives and neighbors.
“Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles,” the weather service said. “Limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.”
