BREAKING: Cal-ISO has issued an Energy Emergency Alert 1, in effect from 4 to 9 p.m. The alert by the manager of the state's power grid is a warning to utilities that all electricity resources are expected to be fully committed.
Overnight lows are not offering much relief either, staying in the 70s and even in the low 80s in some of the hotter areas.
Monday's high temperatures reached 101 in downtown Los Angeles, 105 in Pasadena, 109 in North Hollywood and Santa Clarita, and 110 in Van Nuys and Lancaster.Excessive heat warnings across most of the region that had been set to expire Monday or Tuesday were extended through 8 p.m. Friday for Los Angeles County beaches, the inland coastal area including downtown Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Gabriel, San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys.
The last few days have seen record highs for specific dates in Long Beach, Lancaster, Palmdale and Sandberg. The California Independent System Operator extended a Flex Alert until Tuesday, urging residents to take all possible measures to conserve electricity during the peak hours of 4-9 p.m. for the seventh consecutive day.
To drive home the demand, alerts were sent to cellphones across the state urging people to"conserve energy now to protect public health and safety," and warning that"power interruptions may occur unless you take action."
