The excessive heat in the Bay Area is persistent, with National Weather Service officials extending warnings and advising that conditions will remain hot through the weekend.
Despite a slight cooling trend on Friday, temperatures will likely soar past 100 degrees again over the weekend, maintaining an oppressive heat wave unprecedented at this time of year.
The records set in various cities, like San Jose and Salinas, indicate that this ongoing heat wave has outstripped historical extremes for early October.
NWS meteorologist Nicole Sarment described this heat wave as the longest and most intense to start October in over 40 years, with little relief expected until the following week.
