Scorching Weekend Ahead: High Temps and Humidity in Coachella Valley, Cooler Beach Retreats

The Coachella Valley is bracing for extreme heat this weekend, with temperatures hitting 117°F in Palm Springs and 118°F recorded in 2020. The high-pressure system is driving up temperatures and humidity, with minimal relief expected.
