Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, August eighth. As we wake up, we are still feeling the effects of this stubborn heat wave lingering across the county. Coastal neighborhoods can expect highs in the upper seventies to low eighties today, while our inland valleys are heading for the upper nineties, even pushing into the low hundreds in some spots like Escondido. If you are headed out, expect patchy morning fog, mainly along the coast and north of the 52, but clearer and much hotter conditions will follow. Fire officials are on alert due to the recent string of small brush fires in areas like Julian, Valley Center, and near Bernardo Center Drive. They urge everyone to stay vigilant, keep hydrated, and avoid any open flames or sparks when outdoors.Turning to city hall, this week the council approved new safe parking spaces in the Grantville neighborhood. This gives relief to dozens of families living out of their vehicles, providing a secure, supervised lot along Mission Gorge Road as part of the city’s broader response to homelessness. City leaders are also discussing new emergency preparedness funding, reflecting recent fire risks and ongoing drought patterns.In real estate news, San Diego’s housing market is still piping hot. According to multiple local agents, the median home price in the county now stands just above eight hundred thirty thousand dollars, up slightly month to month.
