We continue to feel a whole lot of heat here in the Coachella Valley. Temperatures today continue to soar above 110°F. Winds aren't anything outside of the ordinary today, and the atmosphere remains dry. Thanks to the persistent high pressure and hot temperatures, Ozone has begun to build near the surface. This is leading to some minor air quality concerns here on the valley floor. A Heat Advisory remains in place this evening (through 8 PM) for our friends just off the west.

The last two days have seen some very hot temperatures. 117°F to be exact. Temperatures are staying on the hot side today. Winds are calm, and conditions are quite dry. The dry weather is helping our apparent/"feel-like" temperatures stay cooler than the actual temperatures. A Heat Advisory remains in place for our friends just off to the west. This includes the Inland Empire, Riverside County mountains, and much of Orange and San Diego Counties.

Summers here in the Coachella Valley mean one thing above all else... heat! So we desert folk find ways to stay cool in the summer months. One of the tools we use to stay cool is evaporative coolers. But whether or not we can use evaporative coolers is dependent on our weather. To help forecast if we can use an evaporative cooler, a local Palm Springs resident, Will Pierce (a former software engineer), created an app. Pierce spent more than two years developing the app.

Happy Monday! It's another brutally hot day here in the Coachella Valley. Highs yesterday reached 117°F. Today, we are feeling similar temperatures with highs reaching at least 115°. The record for the day is 118°, and the average high is 104°. That puts us at least 10° above the seasonal norm. While there are no active heat-related advisories for the Coachella Valley, there is a Heat Advisory currently in effect through 8 PM Wednesday for our friends just to the east.

Good morning and happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! It's going to be a hot Father's Day here on the valley floor. Temperatures will reach the triple digits by around 9:00-10:00 this morning. Highs will continue to climb well into the 110°+ range for this afternoon. Remember to practice heat safety during whtese toasty temperatures. It's not just heat safety, it's sun safety as well! Today is a classic summer day in the Coachella Valley with high temperatures and a very powerful sun.
