Temperatures in the hills and inland areas of the Bay Area are expected to hit the 100s, starting Tuesday and continuing through Fourth of July.
The evening sun begins to set as seen from Mount Diablo State Park in in Contra Costa County, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023. Hot temperatures are expected through Saturday according to the National Weather Service. After a gorgeously warm Sunday across the Bay Area, temperatures will start to creep up Monday, leading to a 10-degree jump by Tuesday morning that will leave much of the region baking on the Fourth of the July holiday and through the end of the week.
So far, the excessive heat forecast has not prompted the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to issue the Spare the Air Alert this week. However, air quality through Thursday is expected to be in the moderate range, between 50 and 100 on the Air Quality Index . This means that people who are unusually sensitive to air quality should consider limiting their time outdoors.
Cities along the coast and San Francisco Bay won’t get quite so hot and are under a “heat advisory,” rather than an “excessive heat warning.” Temperatures in Berkeley and Oakland should be in the relatively mild 80s this week, but San Mateo, Palo Alto and San Leandro should get hotter and see day-time highs in the 90s.
In its forecast, the Weather Service said that people should consider this “prolonged heat event” as “a marathon, not a sprint,” when it comes to taking steps to minimize those impacts.
