Kern County is set to see cooler-than-usual temperatures for the remainder of the work week, with many areas in the low 90s throughout the region. This marks a shift from the typical summer heat that the county is accustomed to during this time of year.
According to the latest weather forecast, Tuesday through the weekend will bring below-normal temperatures to the area, with many Valley locations struggling to break the 90-degree mark in the afternoon.
This cooling trend is expected to provide some relief from the region’s typically scorching summer heat, which can often push well into the triple digits.
In addition to the cooler temperatures, breezy conditions are forecast to affect much of the region. Winds will be noticeable through the Valley and will intensify in the Mojave Slopes, where gusts could reach moderate levels.
These winds may cause some disruptions in mountain and desert communities, especially for those planning outdoor activities or traveling in these areas.
Air quality is expected to be moderate on Tuesday, which may result in slightly reduced visibility and air quality concerns for sensitive individuals, particularly those with respiratory conditions. However, conditions are anticipated to improve as the week progresses.
Despite the relatively mild temperatures this week, Kern County residents should prepare for a brief return to triple-digit heat next week.
Temperatures are expected to surge once again in the coming days, bringing the summer heat back to the region.
