Heat in West Side Hills, California

Daytime highs ranged between 101 and 106 degrees at most locations.

A large area of high pressure dominated over the region between August 25 and 27. Temperatures across the San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra foothills nudged upward back into the triple digits by August 25 and prompted the issuance of a Heat Advisory for the San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra foothills by the 27th as well as an Excessive Heat Warning for the Kern County Deserts where highs approached 110 degrees. The high slowly broke down on August 28 and 29 giving way to a cooling trend across the area although temperatures remained above seasonal normals for late August as they were for much of the month.
