Overnight temperatures in the High Desert can drop significantly during the winter months, even as daytime temperatures remain warm and pleasant. Extremely cold air combined with brisk winds can result in dangerously cold wind chill conditions. People exposed to the harsh cold are susceptible to hypothermia, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it.
The City urges residents to take precautions during these extreme temperatures. For more information, visit Ready.LaCounty.gov/cold.
