Southern California's extreme heat advisory has been extended, with temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees in several areas, including Orange County. This poses a risk of heat-related illnesses. The National Weather Service also issued an extreme heat warning for Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. Forecasts predict highs of 118 degrees in Palm Springs and 103 in Palmdale, with many other cities experiencing triple-digit temperatures. The heat wave is driven by a high-pressure system, increasing fire danger in some areas. A break in the heat is expected Thursday, coinciding with the Juneteenth holiday.
