A fourth consecutive day of scorching temperatures is expected from the Central Coast to the Southern California desert, but forecasters say relief is near.
The National Weather Service says highs in the 90s and 100s will again be common Monday before temperatures start heading down toward normal on Tuesday.
Record highs for May 18 were set in a wide area, including 103 degrees in Paso Robles, 95 degrees in Santa Ana, and 110 degrees in Palm Springs.
Brandt Maxwell of the National Weather Service said the weather is more like what would be expected in July.
