The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for the greater Bay Area until Friday afternoon. Inland temperatures are expected to creep past 100 degrees on Thursday and won’t relent until Saturday.
NWS advises residents to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, stay out of the sun and check on relatives and neighbors periodically. County officials also suggest that people avoid liquids containing alcohol, caffeine or excessive sugar, cool off in public areas like libraries, malls, movie theaters or community centers, wear light-weight, loose-fitting, breathable clothing and limit outdoor physical activity. Never leave pets or children in closed, parked cars.
