California, San Francisco — Beginning on Monday and extending through Wednesday, the National Weather Service (NWS) anticipates that the San Francisco Bay Area will be subjected to a major heat wave.
Temperatures are predicted to climb to 10–20 degrees above normal after a weekend that was reasonably nice. This will bring about broad moderate to significant heat danger over the region with extensive potential for heat.
As of right now, the region is seeing circumstances that are cooler and cloudier, with a thick marine layer and occasional reports of light drizzle. On the other hand, from Monday morning onward, a powerful high-pressure ridge will start to form, which will result in a significant increase in temperature.
Inland locations may experience high temperatures that are higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and even coastal districts that are generally cooler, such as East San Francisco, Oakland, and Santa Cruz, are anticipated to reach temperatures in the lower 90s by Tuesday.
In addition, the heat wave is accompanied by dry winds that blow from offshore, which will cause the extremely high temperatures to stretch to the coast. While it is not anticipated that these winds will be particularly strong, they will have the effect of diminishing the typical afternoon sea breeze that will bring some comfort.
In particular, vulnerable people and those who do not have access to air conditioning are being warned about the increased heat dangers by the National Weather Service (NWS).
Residents are strongly encouraged to drink plenty of water, refrain from engaging in intense activity during the hottest part of the day, and check on their neighbors, particularly the elderly.
