BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Start gearing up for another Bakersfield summer now because temps are on the rise!
Bakersfield saw a high of 83° on Sunday, and you still have time to cooldown by the pool on Sunday.
If you don't get the chance this evening, you'll have plenty of opportunities this week because temps are on the rise across the state.
The central valley saw highs on Sunday in the low 80s, and the coast enjoyed highs in the mid to upper 60s.
For those spending their weekend at Coachella, Palm Springs dealt with blistering heat at 98° on Sunday, and more hot weather is coming soon.

Through the week, pack extra water and a portable fan if you have one because this is just the beginning.
With these warm conditions, on the other side of our mountains we're looking at a wind advisory in effect through Monday morning.
The Mojave Desert slopes could see gusts up to 55 mph, blowing up dust and reducing visibility.
