San Francisco, CA – A multi-day heat advisory is expected to bring unusually warm temperatures to the Bay Area and Central Coast beginning Monday morning, with inland highs climbing into the mid-90s.
According to the National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area office, the advisory will be in effect from 10AM Monday until 8PM Friday, impacting cities including San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Napa, Concord, Livermore, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and King City.
Forecasters say high temperatures will reach the upper 80s to mid-90s inland, while coastal communities could still see temperatures in the 80s, which is significantly warmer than normal for mid-March.
The extended stretch of heat raises concerns for heat-related illness, especially for people working or exercising outdoors. Meteorologists warn that the prolonged duration of the heat event may increase risk compared to short bursts of warm weather.
Drivers traveling across the region this week may also notice hotter pavement and increased glare during peak afternoon travel hours, particularly along major routes such as US-101, Interstate 280, and Interstate 880 through the Bay Area.
The National Weather Service currently lists the event as a Moderate HeatRisk (Level 2 of 4). While many residents accustomed to warm conditions may tolerate the heat, officials say sensitive groups — including older adults, infants, outdoor workers, and those without reliable cooling — may face higher risks.
Officials recommend residents drink plenty of water, take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas, and avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles during the advisory period.
Residents are also encouraged to check on neighbors, friends, and family members who may be more vulnerable to heat exposure.
