Some Angelenos seem to have really enjoyed the extended period of cooler temps. The good news is that the National Weather Service says this hot streak won't last long. Los Angeles is expected to return to normal June Gloom and milder temperatures by mid-week.

In this extreme heat, residents are reminded that cooling centers are open. Many people stopped by one in Fontana in the Inland Empire.
