Bay Area heat spell: Inland locations expected to top out in the 90s

A heat advisory has been issued for parts of the Bay Area this week with temperatures expected to soar into the 90s and close to 100 in some locations, according to the National Weather Service.

The heat advisory will be in effect Tuesday through Thursday in the East Bay hills and interior valleys, North Bay interior mountains and valleys, and the Sonoma coastal range, the weather service said. Santa Clara Valley and the eastern Santa Clara Valley hills will face heat advisory conditions on Wednesday and Thursday.

Most cities and counties offer cooling centers and other resources during the extreme heat. The California Office of Emergency Services has a list on its website.

The hottest days of the week will likely be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, according to the weather service. Here's a look at some of the forecasted highs across the region.

The weather service reminds the public to limit outdoor activities during the afternoon and evening hours, stay hydrated and take cooling breaks, and to never leave children and pets in vehicles.

“Feel very tired, can get light headed, dizzy, have muscle cramps, weakness, increased sensation of thirst,” Dr. Mahazarin Ginwalla of Sutter Health said.

It’s why she recommends people to stay hydrated.

People looking to escape the heat by going to the beach should be careful. A beach hazards statement has been issued for the entire Bay Area coastline except Santa Cruz on Wednesday and Thursday.

Breaking waves could peak anywhere from 15 to 20 feet, especially at west and northwest facing beaches, the weather service said.
