heat advisory for the bay area and East Bay hills

A heat advisory remains in effect from 1 PM Tuesday to 8 PM PDT Wednesday.
* Temperature: mid 80s to mid 90s near the coast and bays. 90s to lower 100s inland. Overnight lows from the upper 50s to upper 60s except 70s in the hills will keep residences warm and not allow relief for those without air conditioning.
* Impacts: even though the area went through a heat event two weeks ago this one will be hotter and longer. Many people are still not acclimated to the hot weather...especially after a relatively cool weekend. Early season heat events put a life threatening stress on the elderly and other people on certain medications. In addition...those working outside or exposed to the hot weather can be overcome and suffer from heat illnesses. First responders will likely see a dramatic increase in calls and incidents.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids...stay in an air-conditioned room...stay out of the sun...and check up on relatives and neighbors.

I won't miss the valley heat.
I don't know how she stands it. But her office is in Sacramento so I guess she's stuck for a while longer.
