"San Francisco Fire Department Capt. Jack Ayers called the conditions "an unprecedented heat wave" and warned beachgoers about hazardous sneaker waves and rip currents. "We do not have lifeguards on duty 24 hours a day at our beaches at Ocean Beach, Baker Beach, China Beach, and Fort Point. If you do choose a beach, view it from a distance," Ayers said."
""Another thing you can do to save energy is set your thermostat to 78 degrees if you're home, 85 when you're leaving," said PG&E spokesperson Megan McFarland. "It's definitely higher than normal, but it can help cut down your energy bills during a heat wave like this.""
"Officials are urging residents to stay hydrated and take precautions during what some are calling an unprecedented March heat wave. The Santa Rosa Fire Department posted reminders on social media to stay hydrated and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles."
The Bay Area is experiencing an unusually hot week with record high temperatures beginning Monday and a heat advisory lasting through Friday. Residents are being urged to stay hydrated and take precautions during this unprecedented March heat wave. Beaches were crowded Sunday as temperatures in San Francisco reached the 80s, contrasting sharply with winter weather elsewhere. Fire department officials warn of hazardous beach conditions including sneaker waves and rip currents, with limited lifeguard availability. Authorities recommend staying hydrated, avoiding leaving children or pets in vehicles, and conserving energy through thermostat adjustments and window management. PG&E advises setting thermostats to 78 degrees when home and 85 when away to reduce energy consumption during the extreme heat.
