A heat advisory will take effect Monday morning across the Bay Area and Central Coast, with temperatures expected to reach dangerous levels. Inland areas could see highs up to 105°F, while coastal regions will experience temperatures in the 80s to 90s. The advisory runs from 11 a.m. Monday until 11 p.m. Wednesday, impacting the broader Bay Area, including San Francisco and Highway 101.
According to the National Weather Service, the extreme heat poses health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and never leave pets or people in vehicles. The agency also recommends taking frequent breaks in cool areas if outdoor activity is unavoidable.
This heat wave could strain power resources as residents rely on air conditioning. San Francisco and surrounding areas are advised to conserve energy and prepare for potential outages. While inland regions will face the highest temperatures, coastal cities should still take precautions as humidity levels may increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. Stay informed and follow local updates for any changes in weather conditions.
