As a heat wave clamps down on the region, the city of San Diego is encouraging residents to take precautions such as limiting outdoor activities to the morning or evening.
Officials advised drinking plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, staying out of the sun during the warmest times of the day, taking shelter in air-conditioned spaces if possible, and checking up on at-risk friends, relatives and neighbors.
