A heat wave that’s roasted the Bay Area for a week [persisted] through Monday night but after that temperatures will mercifully fall off, forecasters said.
“Okay folks. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” the weather service posted Monday morning on X. “We’re tired of it too, but here’s some good news. All Excessive Heat Warnings have been downgraded to Heat Advisories (until 11 PM Monday), and the Heat Advisory for the coast is no longer in effect. We can do this!!”
Heat records were matched or broken Sunday across the Bay Area and beyond, surpassing temperatures from a heat wave that hit nearly 100 years ago, according to the weather service.
It [was] still going to be hot enough on Monday to warrant a warning of moderate to major heat risk in some areas away from the coast, such as inland East Bay, Santa Cruz mountains, North Bay mountains and eastern Santa Clara hills, according to the National Weather Service.
Daytime highs on Monday [were] mostly in the upper 70s to 80s on the coast, in the 80s to 100s around the bay, and in the upper 90s to 100s inland. Overnight lows [were forecasted to] be mostly in the 50s, with some areas reaching the 60s.
Temperatures [would] dip Monday evening as onshore flow is restored, the weather service said.
People and pets should not be left in cars or outside unattended.
