The coastal heat threat lifts tonight when the National Weather Service's Extreme Heat Warning expires at 8 p.m. Monday brings mostly cloudy skies clearing to sun along the coast, with a high near 71 and an overnight low around 61. Tuesday improves to mostly sunny skies and a high near 74. Wednesday brings patchy morning fog clearing to sun with a high near 73. Inland valleys and East County see substantial moderation as the multi-day heat event that began escalating around July 22nd finally retreats, though desert areas see some continued heat into the week.
Key dates to watch: the San Diego City Council returns from recess with committee meetings on August 19th and 20th and a full session on August 24th, at which point the water rate adjustment process and November 3rd election preparations will move forward. San Diego Unified's technology restriction policy launches August 10th alongside the first day of school — the same date the district had hoped to reach its summer enrollment target of 1,309 new students. The East County Advanced Water Purification Program's construction continues near Santee Lakes through the week with drilling running from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Cajon Valley Unified families should note that bus enrollment for the 2026-27 school year opened today, Monday, July 27th.
For community events: the weekly 'ICE Out of SD' rallies continue outside the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building at 880 Front Street in downtown San Diego, drawing activists, labor groups including the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council AFL-CIO, and immigrant-rights organizers. A mural unveiling at Lantern Crest Senior Living in Santee — artist David Ybarra's large-format work honoring San Diego history including the Hotel del Coronado, the USS Midway, and the Lakeside Rodeo — is set for August 5th from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. And the Padres open a three-game home series against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park on Tuesday, with Michael King on the mound.
