San Diegans have been doing their best to stay cool during the region's latest heatwave, which has pushed temperatures well above normal, and at times to record highs. The heat has been exacerbated by unusually high humidity.

An extreme heat warning continues Wednesday for much of San Diego County.

On Midday Edition Wednesday, we talk about the latest heatwave, how it's impacting communities, and what people need to keep in mind to stay safe.
