While California will have to end the weekend on a sizzling note, a break inthe blazing heat is finally in sight.Sunday will mark yet another hot day across the Southwest, with an area of highpressure overhead. In California, temperatures on Sunday will crack the centurymark for the fourth consecutive day in Fresno and Bakersfield. Residents ofPalm Springs will once again have to endure a high above 110 degrees.
It is not a "dry heat" that residents of the Southwest deserts will be enduringon Sunday. Relatively high humidity will be present, causing AccuWeather.comRealFeel® temperatures to rise above actual temperatures.
Ways to beat Sunday's heat throughout the Southwest will not be confined to theuse of air conditioners, fans and swimming pools. Residents could also head toSan Francisco, San Diego or any California beach. Ocean air flowing inland willcontinue to keep temperatures along the coastline comfortable.
The blazing heat baking California will finally ease Monday into Tuesday as thehigh pressure shifts towards the Eastern Seaboard.
It should be noted that the heat will only ease, but not get fully erasedacross California. High temperatures will only return to typical mid-Julyvalues early next week, prompting the continued use of air conditioners andfans.
