A heat advisory was issued by the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA on Monday at 8:38 a.m. valid from Tuesday 10 a.m. until Thursday 8 p.m. The advisory is for San Luis Obispo County Inland Central Coast, Santa Lucia Mountains, Santa Barbara County Inland Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley, Ventura County Beaches, Ventura County Inland Coast, Malibu Coast, Los Angeles and Palos Verdes Hills.

"Temperatures of 85 to 105 degrees, hottest on Wednesday and over interior areas," can be expected according to the NWS. "Humid conditions will add to the heat to potentially worsen heat impacts. Effects of the heat will build through the week, with warm overnight low temperatures providing little relief from the heat."

"There is a high risk for dangerous heat illness for anyone, especially for the very young, the very old, those without air conditioning, and those active outdoors," adds the NWS.

This advisory is in effect until Thursday at 8 p.m.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids.
• Find cool shelter: Stay in an air-conditioned room.
• Look out for others: Stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
• Child and pet safety: Never leave young children and pets unattended in vehicles, especially when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures within minutes.
• Take extra precautions outdoors: If you work or spend time outside, be sure to take additional safety measures.
• Consider the timing: When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
• Recognize early indicators: Learn to identify the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
