What It Means
Sweeping northwest winds are likely to reduce visibility and raise heat stress, especially in coastal and desert areas. The combination of intense heat and dry air may lead to discomfort for outdoor activities. Offshore conditions may be challenging given the roughening waves.
Safety & Comfort Tips

- Avoid outdoor exposure during 12 PM–4 PM, the hottest hours
- Dress light, in breathable, light-colored clothes, and wear a hat and sunscreen
- Protect from sand using masks or scarves in gusty or dusty areas
- Drive with caution in sandy or dusty zones; visibility may deteriorate rapidly
- Monitor sea conditions, especially if boating—waves may reach 7 ft offshore
Extended Outlook
