The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for North County. The warning will be in effect from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m. Monday.
During this period, dangerously hot conditions are expected with temperatures ranging from 100 to 110 degrees, and up to 105 to 115 degrees in interior valleys and foothills.
The heat can significantly increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. The National Weather Service advises residents to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, avoid the sun, and check on relatives and neighbors.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments for those working outdoors.
