EXTREME HEAT WATCH

Updated: August 19, 2025 1:25 pm

Ventura County Sheriff Emergency Services and the National Weather Service are monitoring a significant multi-day heat event expected to bring Extreme Heat to Ventura County Wednesday through Sunday. Temperatures are expected to soar over 100 degrees in many areas of the county by Thursday. In addition to sustained heat, Friday will usher in a monsoonal flow that could bring a slight chance of thunderstorms to mountain areas through Sunday. A Red Flag Warning has also been issued to mountain areas from Wednesday through Saturday due to unseasonably hot and unstable air mass, low relative humidity and breezy winds.

Residents are advised to avoid daytime outdoor activities, when possible, stay hydrated and be aware of local cooling centers. Public buildings, shopping malls and libraries are good resources for staying cool. For a list of local libraries, consult the list below:
