Riverside–San Bernardino is in for a sunny Monday, June 1 with a high near 87°F — but west winds gusting to 25 mph are raising fire danger across the Inland Empire today. Get outside early, stay alert, and have a fire plan ready.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service is tracking west winds of 0 to 15 mph with gusts near 25 mph picking up this afternoon. Skies stay clear all day — solid conditions for a hike through Box Springs Mountain Reserve or a round of golf in the valley. A marine layer near 2,000 feet deepens overnight, bringing a few degrees of cooling on Tuesday before the pattern warms back up by midweek.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning is your most comfortable window. UV index will be high under cloudless skies, so load up on SPF 50 sunscreen before heading out. If you’re running or hiking, a hydration running vest helps on days like this. Back home, the heat makes a great excuse to break out the inflatable family pool — or score a 2-person float with a built-in cooler for just $24 this week.
Fire And Wind Risk
With west winds gusting near 25 mph and dry air, the National Weather Service is monitoring fire weather conditions across San Bernardino and Riverside counties — part of California’s most active wildfire corridor. Make sure your home is ready:
- Keep a fire extinguisher home in the kitchen and garage.
- A smoke detector combo pack on every floor — test yours today.
- If you live near Redlands, Highland, or the mountain communities, keep a go bag emergency evacuation kit packed.
- Store critical documents in a fireproof document safe.
- A fire blanket kitchen is a low-cost safety layer near any stovetop.
- Keep a garden hose 100ft hooked up and ready through the season.

Next Few Days
Tuesday cools to 84°F as the marine layer briefly deepens, then Wednesday warms back to 87°F. The National Weather Service expects Inland Empire temps to run 4–8°F above average by Thursday.
