Lows of 80 to 84 degrees are forecast at night.  On Monday, daytime temperatures are also expected to reach triple digits with low humidity, increasing fire danger as well as temperatures.

Excessive heat is also forecast in other desert communities outside San Diego County, including Indio, Palm Springs, La Quinta and Coachella.

Check Your Plants Too

Submitted by on

If you plant a tree now make sure you can water it at least once a week or more. Check other newer plantings that may not yet have deep roots. June is when native topsoil usually dries out and native annuals and weeds go to seed. Most native shrubs with deep roots are going from flowering to fruiting boosted by the late spring rains in May. Large trees are still subject to drought stress and a deep soaking or two in the summer through fall may help if we have another dry year.
