The heat wave may be near its end, but the resultant air quality issues continue to pose a danger to Southern Californians.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District’s map of the area shows hazardous air quality near Highland in the Inland Empire.

Additionally, very unhealthy air quality has been detected near Chino Valley and Corona, as well as near San Bernardino, Redlands and Rialto.

Air quality that is unhealthy for sensitive groups — and, in large swaths, unhealthy for everyone — blankets much of the Inland Empire and pops up near San Clemente.

Hot temperatures are regularly accompanied by higher pollutant levels in the air. During the summer, the primary pollutant is usually ozone, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The South Coast AQMD’s ozone advisory will expire at 8 p.m. Monday as cooler temperatures are expected for the rest of the week.

A harrowing rescue unfolded amid sweltering temperatures as first responders in Ventura County worked to free a man from 36-inch drainpipe Sunday. 

Details are limited and it’s unclear how the man wound up trapped in the drainage pipe, but in a post to X, formerly Twitter, officials with the Ventura County Fire Department said crews worked in collaboration with the Oxnard fire and police departments during the rescue.  

“Utilizing the latest in robot technology, the Oxnard Police Department pinpointed the victim’s location, allowing our Urban Seach and Rescue Teams to safely extricate the individual,” VCFD said.  

Video footage of the rescue operation shows about a dozen first responders inside a hole dug around the corrugated drainpipe, with the pieces of pipe cutaway lying on a nearby pile of dirt.  

The male victim can be seen sitting up in the pipe moments before he struggles to standup and climb out with the help of firefighters.  

It is unclear how long the man had been trapped in the drainpipe and how the emergency came to the attention of rescuers.  

First responders were able to get the victim onto a rescue litter and pull him to a waiting stretcher.  

The man was lifted into a waiting ambulance and rushed to a nearby hospital in stable condition for further evaluation, authorities said.  

A power outage at the Hollywood Bowl forced officials at the iconic venue to cancel Sunday night’s concert.  

Vance Joy, Grouplove and Tiny Habits were slated to perform this evening, according to The Bowl’s calendar.  

“If a new date for this performance can be confirmed, details will follow and tickets for the original date will be valid for the new performance date,” officials at the Hollywood Bowl said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.

“This is such a bummer,” Grouplove posted their Instagram stories. “We wish we could turn the lights on.”

No information about what exactly caused the outage was provided. It is also unclear how long it will take to restore power to the iconic venue.
