Does the Los Angeles / Orange County area EVER get the type of heat Las Vegas gets?

I know the average temperature in LA is about 85 Fahrenheit in the summer, compared to about 105 in Las Vegas and other parts of the desert in the southwest. But during heatwaves does LA/ Orange County ever feel that type of heat or close to it? The type of heat where you step outside and are blasted by toasty air? How often does it happen?

    It's been over 100 degrees for 5 days in a row in the LA-OC area. This typically only happens during a heatwave but those do occur a few times each year. It was roasting in the high 90's and low 100's during the day and only fell to the 80's at night so the evenings were still very very warm out.

    How often? Usually every 3 or so weeks from June through September we get a heatwave like this.
