Excessive heat warnings and advisories have been issued for parts of the Bay Area as several cities approach peak recorded temperatures.
Clouser said temperatures in several Bay Area cities are forecast to either nearly reach or exceed record highs. San Rafael is expected to hit 100 degrees, which would break the 2001 record high of 99.
Clouser advised people without air conditioning to try to stay cool by going to cooling centers. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority said it would be offering free rides on buses and the light rail to designated cooling centers in the county until Sunday, July 7.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District also extended a warning of unhealthy air quality for the Santa Clara Valley and East Bay. The cause is increased ozone, or smog, which can result in respiratory irritation, reduced lung function, asthma aggravation and lung lining inflammation and damage.
