Bay Area Bakes: Hot Days Ahead, Stay Cool!

Welcome to the Bay Area's summer heat extravaganza! The temperature is climbing, and it's not just a little warm. We're talking about triple-digit numbers that could make ice cream melt before you even take a bite. The National Weather Service (NWS) has sounded the alarm with an excessive heat warning. If you thought the low areas were hot, wait till you hear about the higher elevations – they're almost as warm! How high? Well, we're talking temps in the 70s and 80s up there. Down below, it's even more intense with some spots hitting over 100 degrees. That's a lot warmer than usual, making it tough for both people and power/water utilities to stay comfortable. Some places are already seeing outages and water shortages – not fun at all! You might be wondering if there's any relief in sight. As of now, the NWS isn't expecting major changes anytime soon. This heat wave is planned to stick around for a while, so get ready for more scorching days ahead.
