The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for much of California, as temperatures are expected to soar into the triple digits this weekend. This intense early-season heat wave has already broken several records and is expected to continue through Saturday.
Record-Breaking Heat Wave
The heat wave has been particularly intense in Southern California, where temperatures have reached 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat has also been accompanied by high humidity, which has made it feel even hotter.
