City officials are urging people to take advantage of the cooling centers as a heat wave is set to bear down over much of California, raising concerns about wildfires and health risks.
Death Valley could record temperatures as high as 129 degrees. The National Weather Service warned that the heat wave in the Bay Area could create 'an exceptionally dangerous situation,' and warned that some parts of Southern California could face 'dangerously hot conditions.'
In Southern California, the hottest temperatures are expected to hit Thursday through Saturday, with deserts and mountains reaching 110 degrees. Valleys could see temperatures of about 98 degrees, and coastal plains between 80 to 94 degrees.
Ventura County Sheriff's Emergency Services office issued an alert urging people to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during the hottest times of the day, and to check on elderly neighbors.
