The National Weather Service allowed San Diego's extreme heat warning and heat advisory to expire Tuesday, July 28th, after temperatures ran approximately ten degrees above average over the weekend. Wednesday brings sunny skies with a high near 78 degrees along the coast and overnight lows around 68 to 70 degrees — still roughly three degrees above seasonal average, but manageable.
The water is a different story. A high surf advisory and coastal flood advisory remain in effect, with three-to-six foot surf and sets reaching seven feet driven by swell from Hurricane Genevieve far offshore. San Diego Fire-Rescue lifeguards have renewed warnings that cliff jumping is illegal — a 19-year-old survived a jump at Sunset Cliffs over the weekend — and the department is emphasizing that parents of minors caught cliff diving face fines.
Forecasters are watching for a renewed heat wave possible as early as Thursday or Friday, July 30th and 31st. Inland desert and mountain communities are already under a heat advisory through August 2nd, with highs near 90 to 100 degrees below 7,000 feet elevation. Anyone planning weekend outdoor activities is advised to check the National Weather Service forecast Thursday morning before committing. On the community calendar, Wednesday evening options include Adam Faucett at Soda Bar on El Cajon Boulevard, DJ Loki's vinyl night at Jaguar Paw, swing dance at Queen Bee's Art and Cultural Center, and the closing days of both the Southwest Summer Shakespeare Festival and ArtWalk Liberty Station through July 31st.
