San Jose Just Had Its Hottest Week Ever, 'A Harbinger of Things to Come' | KQED
Briefly

This unusually warm period of time here in October is a harbinger of things to come. This is what the climate models have been predicting, and this is what we're seeing all around the world.
Cities like San José and San Francisco generally run warmer than areas without dark pavement and tall buildings during heat waves. The frequency of heat waves is increasing.

Many scientists, including myself, feel increasingly frustrated at the lack of public action. These outbreaks of high temperatures are going to become more and more frequent.
