Air Quality Alert issued December 19 at 12:35PM PST by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

Non-Weather Emergency Message. Not sent to IPAWS.

Effective: Fri December 19, 2025, 12:35 PM
Expires: Sun December 21, 2025, 12:00 AM

* WHAT...The South Coast AQMD has extended a mandatory wood-burning ban for residents in the South Coast Air Basin. The No-Burn rule bans burning wood, pellets, and manufactured fire logs in any indoor or outdoor wood-burning device. * WHERE...The South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County and non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. No-Burn Day alerts do not apply to areas above 3,000 feet in elevation, the Coachella Valley, or the High Desert. Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income households and those without natural gas service also are exempt from the requirement. * WHEN...Friday and Saturday. * IMPACTS...Particles in smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause health problems (including asthma attacks), increases in emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. No-Burn Days are needed to protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No-Burn Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are forecasted for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected in real-time air quality maps.

To protect your health, check current and forecasted air quality levels at www.aqmd.gov or download the mobile app at www.aqmd.gov/mobileapp. When air quality is poor in your area, limited extended or intense outdoor activity and remain inside with windows and doors closed. Run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier and avoid using devices that bring in outside air like a swamp cooler or whole house fan if you have other ways to stay cool. Additional details for this air quality alert are available at www.aqmd.gov/advisory. Information on the South Coast AQMD Check Before You Burn program is available at www.aqmd.gov/cbyb.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
