"California Braces for Scorching Heatwave, Experts Share Tips to Stay Cool"

The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for California's Central Valley, where temperatures are expected to reach as high as 110 to 115 degrees. Heat-related illnesses are possible if precautions are not taken. The upcoming heat wave is expected to bring "major heat risk" to inland areas, while the Bay Area will experience less extreme heat due to sea breezes. Temperatures in the Bay Area will be 5 to 15 degrees above normal, with the highest chances for temperatures in the 100s in certain counties. A heat advisory will also be in effect for inland portions of the Bay Area. This heat event, although not likely to break temperature records, will feel significant as it marks the first big warm-up of the year after an unusually chilly spring and start to summer in California.
