The Bay Area is experiencing its first heat wave in 2025, prompting the Air District to issue a Spare the Air alert due to predicted unhealthy smog levels. With temperatures soaring into the high 90s and 100s in various regions, particularly eastern Contra Costa County, residents are advised against wood burning and encouraged to minimize driving to reduce pollution. A cooling trend is expected by the weekend, which should alleviate both the heat and pollution levels. Last year, 17 similar alerts were issued throughout the season.
