THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

IT IS NOT A HEAT WAVE, BUT SOMETHING KNOWN AS A HEAT DOME.

JULIA VARGAS JONES HAS MORE ON WHAT CAUSES IT, AND WHY THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IS SO CONCERNING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.

>> Reporter: BRUTAL TEMPERATURES BROUGHT TO YOU BY A HEAT DOME, A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT TRAPS IN HOT AIR AND ADDS RELENTLESS SUNSHINE.

THE LONGER THE HEAT DOME STAYS IN PLACE, THE MORE INTENSE THE HEAT BECOMES.

>> THE HOTS ARE GETTING HOTTER AND THE WETS ARE GETTING WETTER APPEARED >> Reporter: A HEAT DOME IS ON TRACK TO USHER IN THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR IN THE WESTERN U.S.

SO FAR.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR MANY IN CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, UTAH, AND ARIZONA.

>> THOSE WHO ARE WORKING OUTSIDE, THOSE ARE DISABILITIES, THOSE WHO ARE VULNERABLE OR ISOLATED, HEAT CAN PRESENT VERY REAL DANGERS.

>> Reporter: YET IT IS A DANGER THAT SOME UNDERESTIMATE.

IN 2023, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA OFFICIALS REPORTED 645 HEAT -RELATED DEATHS, THE DEADLIEST ON RECORD.

>> EXTREME HEAT, ESPECIALLY EXTREME HUMID HEAT, IS REALLY KIND OF A SILENT KILLER.

YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT A HEAT WAVE AS BEING SOME SORT OF VISUALLY DRAMATIC WEATHER EVENT IN THE SAME WAY THAT A HURRICANE OR A WILDFIRE OR EDUCATOR MIGHT BE, BUT THE ACTUALLY KILL A LOT MORE PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: ALREADY THIS YEAR MULTIPLE HEAT -RELATED DEATHS HAVE BEEN RECORDED, INCLUDING FOUR IN EL PASO, TEXAS LAST WEEK AND PICKED THE HEAT HAS SCORCHED INDIA AND MEXICO, AND HOT OCEANS FEEL THE RAINFALL AND CATASTROPHIC FLOODS GLOBALLY.

THE YOU TEST SECRETARY-GENERAL SAID OF THE ALARM IN THE SWELTERING EFFECTS OF CLAIMANT CHANGE.

>> WE ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR PLANET.

>> Reporter: RECORDS FROM THE EU CLIMATE MONITORING SERVICE SHOW EVERY SINGLE MONTH FROM JUNE OF 2023 TO MAY OF 2024 WAS THE HOTTEST SUCH MONTH ON RECORD.

>> OUR PLANET IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING, BUT WE DON'T SEEM TO BE LISTENING.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS ARE URGING THOSE WHO WORK OUTSIDE TO START EARLY BEFORE TEMPERATURES PEEK AND TO TAKE BREAKS FOR WATER AND ELECTROLYTES.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO COOL OFF IN A BODY OF WATER, BE MINDFUL OF SWIFT CURRENT SAYS THIS WINTER'S RECORDS SNOWMELT INTO RIVERS.

THEY COULD BE FLOWING FASTER THAN USUAL.

IN LOS ANGELES, I AM JULIA VARGAS JONES.

>>> HEAT DOME IS HAVING A VARIETY OF EFFECTS ON OUR PART OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THOMAS FUDGE HAS MORE FROM OUR NEWSROOM.

>> Reporter: IF YOU LIVE NEAR THE COAST IN SAN DIEGO WHERE IT IS IN THE LOWER 70s, YOU MAY WONDER WHERE THE HEAT DOME IS BUT METEOROLOGIST ALEX HARDY WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS IT IS THERAPEUTIC IT IS JUST HIGH ABOVE YOU.

SPEAKING IN LA JOLLA, HE SAID THE HOT AIR IS PRESSING DOWN ON THE ATMOSPHERE CREATING FOG AND LOW CLOUDS.

>> WE CAN ACTUALLY SAY THAT HE DOES CONTRIBUTE TO FOG AND LOW CLOUDS.

THEY WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO HOT TEMPERATURES.

SO TODAY IS THE 2nd DAY OF THE HEAT WAVE, SO WE ARE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES IN THE DESERTS TO BE AROUND 110.

THE HOTTEST PLACES, 115.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE DOMES MAGNIFY TEMPERATURES.

IN IDLEWILD, WHICH HAD 5500 FEET HAS A MUCH HIGHER ELEVATION THAN SAN DIEGO, THEY SAW TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY IN THE MID-90s.

HE DOMES TO MOVE AND MIGRATE, BUT SOME ARE MORE PERSISTENT THAN OTHERS.

HE ADDS THE CURRENT WEATHER IN THE SOUTHWEST IS A HARBINGER FOR THE SUMMER.

FORECASTERS ARE PREDICTING A PRETTY HOTLINE IN 2024.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE STILL HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES AND EXCESSIVE HEAT EARNINGS IN PLACE THROUGH SOME OF THE REGION AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE UPCOMING DAYS.

>>> A NEW REPORT HAS FOUND LA MESA'S AND ENCINITAS ARE MEETING LOCAL EFFORTS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN HAS MORE ON THE LATEST CLIMATE ACTION REPORT CARD.

>> Reporter: TRANSPORTATION REMAINS THE LARGEST SOURCE OF LOCAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

THE NONPROFIT CLIMATE ACTION CAMPAIGN SAYS CITIES NEED TO PICK UP THE PACE OF BUILDING MORE COMPACT, WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH GOOD ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSIT.

ANTHONY DANK IS AUTHOR OF THE WATCHDOG GROUPS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN REPORT CARD.

HE SAYS THE CITY LEADING THE PACK IN THOSE EFFORTS IS LA MESA.

>> LA MESA SCORED HIGHEST BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILDING DENSE INFILL HOUSING INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEAR BUSINESSES AND TRANSIT.

THEY HAVE ALSO AMAZING IN PROGRESS ON PLANNING THEIR LA MESA BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT, ENSURING THIS AREA ENCOURAGES MORE WALKING AND BIKING.

>> Reporter: COMING IN SECOND IS ENCINITAS, WHICH IS LEADING ON RENEWABLE ENERGY AND EFFORTS TO PHASE OUT NATURAL GAS USAGE AND BUILDINGS.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO RANKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK.

THE REPORT FOUND THE CITY NEEDS TO DOUBLE DOWN ON EFFORTS TO SHIFT TRAVEL BEHAVIOR AWAY FROM CARS.

>> IN ADDITION TO THE SMALLER CITIES DOING THEIR PART, WE NEED TO SEE THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE COUNTY STEP UP AND PAVE THE WAY FOR THE REGION CONSIDERING THEIR SIZES.

>> Reporter: CLIMATE CHANGE POSES SERIOUS RISKS TO PUBLIC HEALTH, ESPECIALLY AS EXTREME HEAT EVENTS GET MORE FREQUENT AND INTENSE.

THE STAKES ARE ESPECIALLY HIGH FOR LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, AS WAS MADE CLEAR BY SAN DIEGO'S DEVASTATING FLOODS ON JANUARY 22.

>> HOMES WERE DEMOLISHED.

FAMILIES DISPLACED AND COMMUNITIES A SUBMERGED.

FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES ARE ALREADY TRADITIONALLY UNDER INVESTED AND BEAR THE BRUNT OF DAMAGING COST.

IT IS CLEAR WE ARE ILL PREPARED FOR THE CHALLENGES POSED BY A CHANGING CLIMATE.

>> Reporter: CALIFORNIA HAS A GOAL OF NET ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 2045.

THAT IS WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY IS NECESSARY TO AVOID CLIMATE CATASTROPHE.

PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW AND THE STATE HAS TO TRIPLE THE PACE OF DECARBONIZATION TO GET ON TRACK.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

STORMY SAN DIEGO POLICE CHIEF DAVID NISLEIT LEFT HEADQUARTERS FOR THE LAST TIME AS CHIEF TODAY.

HE IS RETIRING AFTER 36 YEARS WITH THE DEPARTMENT.

A FINAL RADIO BROADCAST THANKED HIM FOR HIS SERVICE.

>> I KNOW HOW MUCH HE HAS LEFT THIS JOB.

I KNOW HOW MUCH OF HIS LIFE HE HAS PUT TOWARDS HIS JOB.

HE GETS UP EVERY MORNING AT 4:00 A.M. AND IS WILLING THROUGH WATTS COMMAND REPORTS, SENDING INFORMATION I NEED TO KNOW TO ME .

WORKABLE DAY, GO HOME, RESPOND TO EMAILS, BE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS MAN HAS GIVEN THE ENTIRETY OF HIS LIFE FOR MAYBE FOUR DECADES TO THE CITY.

>> THERE WAS ALSO A SYMBOLIC CHANGE OF COMMAND TO CHIEF SCOTT WHILE.

THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SAYS HE HAS BEEN WITH THE DEPARTMENT FOR 26 YEARS.

>>> AND THEN THERE WERE THREE.

THEIR NARROWING DOWN THE DELMAR RELOCATION PROJECT AT THREE POSSIBLE ROUTES.

KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER TANIA THORNE SAYS THE PUBLIC HAS SIX WEEKS TO GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE CHOICES.

>> Reporter: PLANS TO RELOCATE THE RAIL LINE OF OF THE CRUMBLING COASTAL CLIFFS ARE CHECKING ALONG.

BUT WHERE TO PUT THE TRACKS AND FUTURE TUNNEL HAS YET TO BE DECIDED.

AFTER GETTING PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND DOING ITS OWN ANALYSIS, THEY HAVE NARROWED DOWN THE SEARCH TO THREE POSSIBILITIES.

>> WHEN IS THE ALIGNMENT THAT KIND OF GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF DELMAR.

ONE IS ANOTHER ALIGNMENT THAT GOES CLOSER TO THE OCEAN BUT STILL INLAND, AND THEN THE ALIGNMENT THAT GOES CLOSER TO THE I-5 WHICH IS AN ALIGNMENT WE HEARD STRAIGHT FROM THE PUBLIC.

>> Reporter: DAVID IS THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION.

HE SAYS EACH ROUTE COMES WITH ITS OWN BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE ALONG THE FREEWAY STARTS IN SOLANA BEACH, WHERE THE TRACK IS ALREADY IN A TRENCH.

>> WE WOULD HAVE TO DEEPEN THE TREND.

IT GETS PRETTY COMPLICATED FROM A CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP TRAINS RUNNING WHILE WE CREATE A DEEPER TREND.

THEN WE HAVE TO GET UNDER THE GLINTED OVER TO THE I-5.

>> Reporter: THIS IS THE LONGEST ROUTE, MEANING IT WILL COST MORE AND TAKE LONGER TO BUILD, AND EVENTUALLY THE TRAVEL TIME WILL TAKE LONGER.

ROUTE BE, THE STRAIGHTEST ROUTE, CUTS TRAVEL TIME.

>> FROM AN OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE TRYING TO ALSO BE SENSITIVE TO COMMUTERS TRAVELING AROUND THIS ROUTE.

IT'S OUR GOAL TO HAVE PEOPLE GET FROM OCEANSIDE TO DOWNTOWN IN 33 MINUTES.

WHEN TRAINS HAVE TO GO AROUND CURVES THEY HAVE TO GO AROUND.

>> Reporter: ROUND C HAS THE SHORTEST TUNNEL, WHICH COULD MEAN A CHEAPER COST.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CIRCLES, THOSE ARE THE PORTALS.

A PORTAL IS WHERE A TRAIN ENTERS A TUNNEL.

IF YOU GO FROM CIRCLE TO CIRCLE YOU CAN KIND OF IMAGINE HOW LONG THE TUNNEL WOULD BE.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS NOTHING IN THE PROJECT HAS BEEN FINALIZED, BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

EVERY YEAR, THE BLUFFS THE ROAD BY AN AVERAGE OF 6 INCHES, CREEPING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE TRACKS.

THE NEXT STEPS ARE TO GATHER COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON THE THREE OPTIONS.

THEY WILL HOLD AN IN-PERSON COMMUNITY MEETING ON JUNE 18 AT THE SAN DIEGO MARRIOTT DELMAR.

COMMENTS CAN ALSO BE SUBMITTED ONLINE AND BY MAIL UNTIL JULY 19.

ONCE PUBLIC COMMENT ARE IN, THEY WILL STILL NEED TO DO MORE STUDIES ON THE SITE.

>> Reporter: WITH A JOB MARKET THAT LOOKS STRONG BY THE NUMBERS, SOME NEW COLLEGE GRADS MAY WONDER WHERE THE JOB OFFERS.

ECONOMISTS SAY THERE IS MORE COMPETITION FOR FEWER JOBS.

>> THE NUMBERS GAME IS NOT REALLY IN YOUR FAVOR.

JOBS HAVE BECOME MORE COMPETITIVE.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, JUST OVER 1 MILLION AVAILABLE JOBS WERE POSTED IN APRIL.

THAT'S ABOUT 1.2 JOBS FOR EVERY JOB SEEKER, THE LOWEST RATIO SINCE JUNE OF 2021.

CHIEF ECONOMIST FOR ZIPRECRUITER SAYS NOT EVERY FIELD HAS THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW.

>> THERE ARE PARTS OF THE ECONOMY THAT ARE VERY SLOW, LIKE RETAIL, TECH EVEN MANUFACTURING.

>> Reporter: THE LINKEDIN HEAD OF ECONOMICS FOR AMERICA SAYS YOUNG WORKERS SHOULD STAY ON TOP OF INJURIES -- INDUSTRIES THAT ARE HIRING.

>> KNOWING WHICH INDUSTRIES HAVE MORE OPENINGS COMING ONLINE AND WHERE IT'S TAKING PLACE, IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU CAN APPLY.

>> Reporter: AND BE OPEN TO NEW AREAS TO APPLY THEIR SKILLS.

>> DON'T LOOK AT THE JOB TITLE, BUT FOCUS ON THE SKILLS YOU HAVE AND WHETHER YOUR SKILLS ARE MATCHING WITH THE ROLE IS ASKING FOR.

>> Reporter: THEY BOTH SAY THE U.S.

WORKFORCE IS AGING, SO YOUNG WORKERS MAY NOT GET THEIR DREAM JOB RIGHT AWAY, BUT CAN POSITION THEMSELVES FOR THE FUTURE.

>> IT WILL SOON DONNA MANY EMPLOYERS THAT THEY HAVE AN AGING WORKFORCE, THAT THEY HAVE A RETIREMENT TSUNAMI HEADING THEIR WAY, AND THAT THEY NEED TO FIND WAYS TO REACH OUT TO AN APPEAL TO YOUNGER WORKERS.

>> IN WASHINGTON, KAREN K FOR.

WE WILL NOT WALK AWAY.

>> Reporter: THE BIDENS ATTENDED THE DAYS OF CEREMONIES WITH THE FRENCH PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY.

FOR MANY OF THE VETERANS WHO CAME, SOME OVER 100 YEARS OLD FOR THIS 80th ANNIVERSARY OF D- DAY COULD BE THE LAST TRIP TO OMAHA BEACH THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO MAKE, AND MOST WILL TELL YOU THEY ARE NOT HERE FOR THEMSELVES.

>> I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT HEROES ARE OUT THERE.

THEY GAVE THEIR LIFE.

THEY GAVE THEIR LIFE.

SO THAT I COULD MAKE IT.

>> Reporter: A LEGACY OF HEROES ENTRUSTED NOT TO NEW GENERATIONS.

>> IN THEIR HOUR OF TRIAL, THE ALLIED FORCES ON D-DAY DID THEIR DUTY.

>>> TOMORROW PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE FIRST LADY WILL VISIT POINTED TO HAWK, A PLACE FAMOUS IN AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY FOR THE HEROIC CLIMB OF ARMY RANGERS UP IT'S 100 FOOT CLIFFS TO NEUTRALIZE GERMAN GUNS FIRING DOWN ON THE BEACH.

THE SAN DIEGO PUBLIC LIBRARY.

KPBS MILITARY AND VETERANS REPORTER ANDREW DYER HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: THE SAN DIEGO CENTRAL LIBRARY DOWNTOWN LASER CUTTER CARVES A PREPROGRAM SHAPE THAT OF A SCRAP PIECE OF WOOD.

THIS IS THE DEVICE A PAIR OF SAILORS CREDIT FOR MAKING THEIR IDEA REAL.

MATT SEMPLE AND ANDY CAMP WERE SURFACE WARFARE OFFICERS ON THE USS JASON DUNHAM , A GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER.

SEMPLE SAID IT WAS DIFFICULT SHARING A STATE ROOM WITH THEIR DIFFERENT WATCH SCHEDULES.

>> I REMEMBER I WOULD BE ASLEEP.

I WOULD WAKE UP TO ANDY BANGING ON THE SLEEP TO -- AND TO TRY TO GET HIS RAZOR CLEAN.

>> Reporter: ARE REQUIRED TO SHAVE EVERY DAY.

IT IS SOMETHING CAMP SAYS THEY ARE INDOCTRINATED WITH EVERY DAY SINCE TRAINING, IT IS SOMETHING THEY THINK ABOUT A LOT.

>> IT WAS REALLY BEING ON A SHIP, HIGHLIGHTING THE ISSUES WITH SHAVING.

EVERY BOUT -- EVERYTHING ABOUT SHAVING IS WORSE ON A SHIP.

THE WATER PRESSURE IS WORSE.

THE LIGHTING IS WORSE.

WHATEVER.

>> Reporter: THE PAIR HAD AN IDEA.

WHAT IF RAZOR CARTRIDGES COULD BE CLEANED WITHOUT BANGING THEM ON A SINK?

CAMP SKETCHED DESIGNS AND WHAT BEGAN WITH EARLY VERSIONS OF THE RAZOR WINDSOR.

IT PUSHES WATER THROUGH DISPOSABLE RAZOR CARTRIDGES, KEEPING THE BLADES FRESHENED THE HAIR OUT OF SINKS.

>> WE HAD THE GENERAL SHAPE OF IT WHICH IS A PUMP THAT SPRAYS WATER THROUGH YOUR RAZOR BLADES AND THEN RECYCLES IT THROUGH FILTERS.

MET THE PAIR SEPARATELY TRANSFERRED TO SAN DIEGO UNITS, AND THE FIRST THING KAMP DID WAS LOOK FOR MAKERS BASIS.

>> I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE PREDOMINANT ONE AT SAN DIEGO WAS AT THE CENTRAL LIBRARY AND WAS ALSO FREE.

HER MAC THAT IS A I.D.E.A.

LAB ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY.

>> WE HAVE A DIECUT MACHINE, SEWING MACHINES, EMBROIDERY MACHINES, SEARCHERS, DYE SUBLIMATION.

WE HAVE A SMALL CNC MACHINE.

HER MAC DR. PATEL IS AT THE CENTER THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

SHE IS SHOWING ME AROUND THE LAB.

IT HAS ACQUITTED THAN ANYONE MIGHT NEED TO BRING AN IDEA TO LIFE, AND THE LIBRARY STAFF CAN SHOW ANYONE HOW TO USE A.

>> WHEN SOMEBODY COMES IN WITH AN IDEA, WE HAVE THEM SIT DOWN AND SKETCH IT OUT ON PAPER, KIND OF HAVE THEM TALK IT THROUGH.

WE TAKE THEM AROUND AND KIND OF GET THE BALL ROLLING, YOU KNOW, GET THEM THINKING.

>> Reporter: SEMPLE SAID THE LIBRARY ALSO PLAYED A PART PATENTING THEIR INVENTION.

HOANG PICKS THEM UP WITH NAZI THING -- KPBS NEWS D3 WHO RENT THE PATENT AND RESEARCH CENTER.

>> AND TEACH PEOPLE DIFFERENT TRADEMARKS OF HOW TO PURSUE WHEN.

>> Reporter: PART OF HER JOB IS TO HELP PEOPLE NAVIGATE THE TRADEMARK PROGRESS WHICH CAN BE DAUNTING.

BUT HE SAYS ANYONE CAN DO IT EVEN IF THEY ARE STRAPPED FOR CASH.

>> THAT IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS WHOLE THING.

>> Reporter: AFTER A LOT OF TRIAL AND ERROR, KAMP DEMONSTRATES THEIR INVENTION.

>> WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN, THE WATER GETS ACCELERATED THROUGH THE SLOTS AND THROUGH YOUR RAZOR BLADE.

THIS SHAPE, BECAUSE OF THE GASKET AROUND THE OUTSIDE, FORCES WATER BETWEEN THE BLADES SO IT FLUSHES THE HAIR AND GUNK OUT.

>> Reporter: BOTH SAILORS HAVE JUST SEPARATED FROM THE NAVY.

THE PAIR HOPE TO RAISE $10,000 IN STARTUP FUNDS ON KICK STARTER.

WHEN THEIR CAMPAIGN ENDED LAST MONTH, THEY HAD RAISED ALMOST $70,000.

FOR MORE THAN 1300 BACKERS.

>> WE ENDED UP GETTING REALLY LUCKY.

BEING IN SAN DIEGO WHERE WE CAN COME INTO A SPACE LIKE THIS TO WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THAT IDEA AND START TRYING TO CREATE AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

>> HEAT CAN AFFECT PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY SYSTEM IF LEFT UNCHECKED.

>> Reporter: BETWEEN MAY AND SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR, CDC DATA SHOWS THE NUMBER OF E.R.

VISITS FOR HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED ACROSS SEVERAL U.S.

REGIONS WHEN COMPARED TO THE SAME MONTHS OF THE FIVE PREVIOUS YEARS, ESPECIALLY AMONG MEN AND ADULTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 64.

THESE ILLNESSES CAN BE DANGEROUS, EVEN DEADLY, WHICH IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE SIGNS, SAYS EMERGENCY MEDICINE DR. KEVIN WATKINS WITH CLEVELAND CLINIC.

>> THE MOST PATIENTS THAT WE SEE THAT DEAL WITH SEVERE HEAT ILLNESS OR HEATSTROKE ARE USUALLY MORE ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS, OR SOMETIMES EVEN YOUNG CHILDREN THAT AREN'T PUT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

>> Reporter: ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES IS HEAT EXHAUSTION.

SIGNS INCLUDE HEAVY SWEATING, COLD, PALE, AND CLAMMY SKIN, VAST WEAK PULSE, NAUSEA, VOMITING, MUSCLE CRAMPS, FATIGUE , DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND FAINTING.

GET MEDICAL HELP RIGHT AWAY OF SYMPTOMS LAST LONGER THAN AN HOUR, OR GET WORSE, OR IF YOU ARE THROWING UP.

THE MOST SERIOUS CONDITION IN HIGH TEMPERATURES IS HEATSTROKE , WHICH IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

RED FLAGS ARE A HIGH BODY TEMPERATURE OF 103 DEGREES OR HIGHER, HOT, RED, DRY, OR DAMP SKIN, PAST STRONG PULSE, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, CONFUSION, AND LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS.

THE CDC SAYS THESE SYMPTOMS SHOULD PROMPT AN IMMEDIATE CALL TO 911.

FOR HEALTH MINUTE, I AM MANDY GAITHER.

>>> THE STORY THROUGH OUR INTERIOR LOCATIONS HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT THE HEAT, AND WE STILL GET THAT HEAT FOR ANOTHER DAY, BUT WE ARE STARTING TO EASE OUT OF THINGS.

THE REST OF THE HEAT WAS REALLY AS WE WENT THROUGH TODAY, AND TONIGHT STILL OF COURSE DEALING WITH SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS THAT ARE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR US THROUGH THE IN LAND LOCATIONS.

THE COASTAL AREAS GET THE CLOUDS , AND THAT IS WHAT HELPS TO KEEP THINGS A LITTLE BIT COOLER EVEN AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

WE WILL KEEP THE COASTLINE COMFORTABLE, BUT OF COURSE THE HEAT WILL BE BUILDING IT AGAIN TO OUR INTERIOR SPOTS.

A LOT GOING ON HERE, BUT TONIGHT THE CLOUDS TO REMAIN FOR THE COASTLINE.

PLACES LIKE OCEANSIDE BECOMING CLOUDY.

TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60s.

SAN DIEGO 63 FOR THE LOW IN THE CITY.

VIRAGO SPRINGS, MITCH ATTENDEES.

-- MID 70s.

STILL COMFORTABLE FOR THE COAST, BECAUSE WE HAVE THOSE CLOUDS TO START OFF THE DAY, BUT FOR INLAND SPOTS IT IS ABOUT THE HEAT.

HEAT ADVISORIES STILL IN PLACE.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS STILL IN PLACE.

YOU WANT TO USE CAUTION.

106 FOR THE HIGH IN BORREGO SPRINGS AS WE GET THROUGH THE DAY.

MOUNT LAGUNA 72 DEGREES.

THE COAST, NOT TOO BAD IN SAN DIEGO.

71 OCEANSIDE AT 74.

ACCUWEATHER REAL FEEL TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY EAST OF US.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF HEAT IF YOU ARE TRAVELING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS.

THE UPCOMING DAYS FOR THE COAST, WE HAVE THE COASTAL CLOUDS THAT KEEP US QUIET TO START OFF THE MORNING.

COOLER, AND THEN THE SUNSHINE BREAKS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BACK TO THE 70s.

FOR INLAND SPOTS, WE ARE BACK INTO THE 70s AND 80s.

ONCE WE GET INTO THOSE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS, WE START TO NOTICE THOSE NUMBERS FLUCTUATING A BIT MORE.

LOWER 70s BACK TO THE MID 60s BY THE TIME WE GET INTO SUNDAY, THEN WE RANGE BACK UP AGAIN FOR MONDAY.

BACK TO THE LOWER 70s.

AND FOR THE DESERT SPOTS, 106 FOR THE HIGH AS WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW.

A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT FOR US, AND THEN WE ARE BACK TO THE LOWER TRIPLE DIGITS FOR THE WEEKEND.

FOR KPBS NEWS , I AM METEOROLOGIST MELISSA CONSTANZER.

>>> SAN DIEGO MAY BE KNOWN FOR CRAFT BEER, BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY FERMENTATION CREATION IN TOWN.

THE REGION'S WINE INDUSTRY IS GROWING WITH RECORD HIGH SALES THIS PAST YEAR, BUT AS KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN EXPLAINS, THINGS MIGHT NOT BE AS ROSE NEXT YEAR.

>> Reporter: IT SITS AT THE SITE OF ONE OF THE OLDEST SURVIVING WINERIES IN THE REGION.

THE HISTORY OF THE WINERY GOES BACK TO THE 1880S.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE VENDORS ASSOCIATION.

HE'S ALSO THE FINANCE DIRECTOR.

>> IT WAS A GOOD YEAR AS WELL, AND WE DID GROW OUR STAFF CAN'T BUY 3 TO 4.

THAN THE VENDORS ASSOCIATION ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT SHOWS THAT NEW OR EXPANDING WINERIES ADDED NEARLY 100 JOBS LAST YEAR, A 13% INCREASE.

WEBER SAYS THE GROWTH COMES FROM LOCAL WINERIES GETTING BETTER KNOWN AND WINNING AWARDS.

DESPITE TWO YEARS OF GROWTH, SOME LOCAL VENDORS SAY THERE IS SOME CHALLENGES FOR THE INDUSTRY AHEAD, SUCH AS FIRE INSURANCE.

>> IT IS A BIG PROBLEM EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY AREAS THAT ABOUT OPEN SPACE.

PROPERTIES LIKE THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO ENSURE RIGHT NOW.

>> WE WERE CANCELED FROM OUR PROVIDER AND HAD A GO TO THE SECONDARY MARKET, AND THE SECONDARY MARKET IS RATHER EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE NOW PAYING 200% MORE FOR FIRE INSURANCE THAN THEY DID A FEW YEARS AGO.

WEBER SAYS INFLATION IS ALSO A CONCERN.

IS AND BOOKINGS AT THE VINEYARDS ARE SHRINKING, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE CUTTING BACK.

>> SO THAT BUSINESS I THINK FOR 2024 IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SMALLER THAN 2023.

>> Reporter: ALEXANDER NGUYEN , KPBS NEWS.
