Sweltering Heat, Humidity Grip San Diego County

It's a challenge for many in San Diego to return to work or school as the day after Labor Day feels a lot like summer.

“We have temperatures running 10 to even 15 degrees above average,” said NBC 7 Meteorologist Jodi Kodesh.

Forecasted temperatures along the coast will be in the mid to upper 80s with the inland communities seeing temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.

Tropical moisture from Hurricane Linda will pull into the region bringing a chance of thunderstorms to the mountains.

Flash flooding from slow moving storms will be a concern in the mountains and desert floors, Kodesh added.

The advisory was in effect from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The NWS advises those who work or spend time outside to reduce their activities or reschedule them to early morning or evening.

Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location, the agency advises.

Medical experts suggest anyone with a temperature at or above 104 F should seek immediate medical attention.
