Summer-like heat in Southern California ahead of Memorial Day weekend
(FOX 5/KUSI) — Southern California will feel more like summer in the days leading up to Memorial Day weekend with an incoming rise in temperatures and clearer skies.
The warmer-than-average temperatures have the potential to set records in some parts of the state.
On Monday, several inland communities in San Diego County were already running nearly 20 degrees warmer than on Sunday.
Temperatures will continue to rise through Thursday, driven by a ridge of high pressure building over the eastern Pacific and northern Mexico.

The heat is expected to peak on Wednesday, with coastal areas trending up to 8 degrees above average.
Inland valleys, mountains and deserts will see greater warmth, ranging from 8 to 15 degrees above normal.
Cities like Chula Vista and Ramona could tie or even break their daily high-temperature records.
On Wednesday, coastal highs will reach the mid to upper 70s, while inland and foothill communities will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s.

The ridge is expected to begin weakening on Friday, allowing for a gradual cooling trend. By the weekend, daytime highs will return closer to seasonal averages.
Despite the daytime warmth, nights and mornings will stay cool due to offshore winds. Sheltered inland areas may continue to see patchy fog during the early morning hours.

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Get comfortable with a mostly cloudy coast and warmer weather inland as temperatures aren't expected to change much over the next few days. As of Wednesday afternoon, clouds are clearing gradually from east to west, making way for blue skies and sunshine in our inland areas but still mostly cloudy at the immediate coast. Temperatures are going to hold steady for the next few days with a rinse and repeat forecast most days.

When is the summer solstice 2025? What to know about the longest day of the year
With the cool temperatures and rain in the region over Memorial Day weekend, it seems like summer weather will never reach Connecticut. But it's much closer than it seems, with the summer season right around the corner, which kicks off with the summer solstice. The summer solstice is when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for the year, and marks the beginning of summer. It is the longest day of the year, with the most daylight. "The summer solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt toward the sun is at a maximum," according to the National Weather Service website. "Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice." It will occur this year on June 20, 2025. It begins with the summer solstice on June 20. The summer solstice is not on the same day every year. "The solstices also do not land on the same calendar day every year because the astronomical year is 365.25 days long," according to the website. "As such, the summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere — also known as the June solstice — currently shifts between June 20, 21 and 22." Conversely, the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere happens on Dec. 21 or 22 each year. The National Weather Service is predicting another hot summer in the northeast this year. The NWS three-month outlook, issued April 17, shows that temperatures in New England are likely to be 50-60% above normal in May, June and July of 2025. Precipitation in the Northeast is also expected to be slightly above normal by about 35-40%. The Farmer's Almanac also predicted above average temperatures in the Northeast this summer. In New England, "broiling" heat is in the forecast. "Heat will be in full force by July, with much of the nation sweltering with above- to high-above average temperatures," the forecast says. However, it predicts 'average precipitation' for the region. Katie Landeck contributed to this report. This article originally appeared on The Providence Journal: When is the summer solstice 2025?
