The average number of heat waves in the U.S. has doubled since the 1980s, in part because of human-caused climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
The heat wave will meet an abrupt end tomorrow as we expect temperatures in the city to cool to around 71 or 72 and the bay shoreline to be in the upper 70s to low 80s.
After over a week of blazing hot days, fire danger is still quite high across the region. Grasses and soil are very dry.
It's just too early to tell if this cooldown is the end of October's heat because temperatures look to be above average for the next two weeks.
