Heat wave continues in parts of Southern California as triple-digit heat impacts Inland Empire, valleys
Parts of the Inland Empire and the valleys are expected to have triple-digit temperatures as the heat wave continues in Southern California on Thursday. A KCAL News Next Weather Alert goes into effect and will remain until Friday for all inland communities. The alert was issued Monday to warn residents that an upcoming weather event might impact their daily and precautions should be taken. KCAL Meteorologist Amber Lee says peak temperatures will be on Thursday and will linger into Friday. A National Weather Service heat advisory is also in effect until 8 p.m. Friday for San Bernardino and Riverside County valleys and the Inland Empire. Weather officials say temperatures could reach up to 106 degrees in the advisory areas. A high-pressure system slightly to the east is pushing the hot air into the region. A shallow marine layer will keep the heat away from the coast. The NWS HeatRisk map categorizes areas like Fontana, Highland, Loma Linda, San Bernardino, Riverside and Perris as areas with "major" heat risk, which means conditions could be harmful to anyone "without cooling/hydration, as well as health systems and industries." Once the heat wave passes, there will be slight cooling through the weekend.

Wiltshire could be in '12 hottest counties' as heat maps predict next wave
The UK's next heatwave is predicted to be on the horizon, and Wiltshire is set to be one of the hottest counties. After a wet start to August, meteorologists are predicting more scorching temperatures for parts of the UK later this month. It comes after recent successive heatwaves saw the hottest June ever recorded in England. New forecast data collected by suggests that temperatures could reach above the mid-30s for some areas on Monday, August 18. Wiltshire has been included in the site's list of 12 counties expected to see max temperatures of up to 35C. Other counties being warned of the hot weather include Devon, northern parts of Dorset, Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, northern parts of Gloucestershire and northern parts of Cambridgeshire. Heat maps suggest another wave of high temperatures is on the way (Image: The Met Office has yet to confirm these forecasts, saying it's too early to know for sure, but the office's long-range forecast does show possibilities of high temperatures during August. The forecast from August 10 to August 19, reads: "Potential for some very warm and humid weather to affect parts of the south and east in particular." This matches predictions set out on heat maps and those reported in national news sites such as The Express. The Met Office definition of a heatwave is three consecutive days of temperatures exceeding the "heatwave threshold" for that part of the country. For most of the UK, this is 25C, with slightly higher numbers for the South and East, and rising to 28C in London. Looking to the week ahead, temperatures in Wiltshire are set to rise from 24C on Saturday, August 9, to 26C by Monday, and reaching highs of 28C by Tuesday, August 12.
