Even Metrolink trains are running slower as the Inland Empire copes with a heat wave.
As cleanup continues from Tropical Storm Hilary, the Inland Empire is so hot that people are getting sick and trains are running slower.It was only about a week or so ago that the Inland Empire was dealing with a barrage of rain, flash flooding and cool temperatures in the 70s.
This week's heat wave is hitting even as the outdoor cleanup from Tropical Storm Hilary continues. Volunteers who are shoveling out mud and making other repairs in communities like Cathedral City find themselves having to pause often to rehydrate and seek shade. Metrolink announced Tuesday that San Bernardino trains may be delayed up to 15 minutes because of reduced speeds linked to the heat. The temperatures can cause steel in the rail lines to expand, leading to possible buckling or shifting.
