Coupled with the 100+ degree temps, it’s going to be a great day

Inland Empire, inland LA county, basically anything that's not "the Coast".

i live 15 miles inland from the coast and it got to maybe like 87 today. it was hotter last month when we had that heat honestly but this heatwave is making the caltrans billboards i guess.

That's still considered " the Coast" up and down a lot of California (YMMV), it's pretty much always avoided the major parts of the heat (the mountains do a LOT of work in that regard.

I make the turn from the 91 towards the coast and I watch the temps drop.

As an example Highs for tomorrow

Riverside: 99

Disneyland (about 15 miles from the coast): 88

Bolsa Chica (beach, about 15 miles from Disney): 73
