The Bay Area is under a heat advisory due to a high-pressure system, with upcoming temperatures reaching mid-90s, especially in the Berkeley and Oakland hills.
Roger Gass from the NWS noted that the conditions are unusual for this time of year as stronger offshore winds normally alleviate heat before it reaches the coast.
Historical context shows that while this heat wave aligns with past events, it is less severe than the record-breaking temperatures experienced in 1980.
Residents can expect brief relief later in the week as temperatures are forecast to decline into the mid-80s, with comfortable overnight temperatures in the mid-60s.
