The advisory mirrors a similar one issued on Sunday.
Residents were urged to stay hydrated, remain in cool, dry areas and wear light clothing. They were also encouraged to check in on elderly neighbors and relatives.
The heat was expected to linger through the week, though not at such elevated temperatures, accompanied by yet another monsoonal movement bringing muggy weather and the potential for isolated thunderstorms to the Southland.
On Sunday, more than 7 million Americans were affected by heat alerts as a heat wave strikes across the United States, with average temperatures sitting at around 90 degrees.
