Heat wave hits Bay Area as temperature soars into triple digits

A heat dome is sitting over the western United States, making the Bay Area very hot starting Tuesday. Inland areas will have temperatures near 100 degrees, while coastal areas will be in the 80s. The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory for some regions from Tuesday morning to Thursday night. This means it will be much hotter than usual for early June. The heat is caused by a high-pressure system that will stay put over the west for a while. This will be surrounded by low-pressure systems of different strengths. People without air conditioning can go to cooling centers for help. A Beach Hazards Statement will be in effect from Wednesday morning to Thursday for the Bay Area coast, warning inexperienced swimmers to stay out of the water. The National Weather Service advises people in hot areas to wear light clothes, use sunscreen, and never leave people or pets in hot cars. The heat will be intense from Tuesday to Thursday, with temperatures reaching close to 100 degrees in some places. After that, temperatures will cool down. The heat dome causing the hot weather has moved from Mexico to the western U.S. It will affect not only California but also Arizona, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest. People in hot areas should be careful, especially sensitive populations like children, the elderly, and pregnant women. Stay hydrated, wear light clothes, and avoid staying outside for too long. The Bay Area will have a heat advisory from Tuesday morning to Thursday night, with temperatures reaching around 100 degrees. Inland areas will be hotter than coastal regions. The South Bay will also have a heat advisory starting Wednesday morning. Temperatures will drop at night, providing some relief from the heat. Residents should be cautious as high temperatures can lead to heat-related illnesses.
