Medications That Raise Heat-Related Health Risks

Certain medications, including beta blockers, diuretics, and antidepressants, can impair the body's ability to regulate heat, increasing the risk of overheating during heatwaves. Patients are advised to take precautions such as staying cool, hydrated, and avoiding excessive heat exposure, without discontinuing their medications. Ongoing research aims to better understand the combined effects of multiple drugs and climate change on heat-related health risks.

Scorching Heatwave Sweeps Across the Nation, Puts Millions on Alert

The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Watch for the interior Bay Area and Central Coast, with temperatures expected to rise higher than initially forecast. Inland highs could reach up to 110 degrees by Saturday, posing a moderate to major heat risk. The dry heat also increases the danger of fires inland. Cooler temperatures are expected on Monday, but relief can be found on the coast with temperatures in the mid-60s to low-70s.

Heatwave Alert: Northern California and Bay Area Brace for High Temperatures

A warm ridge of high pressure is forecast to raise above-average temperatures across California on Wednesday and Thursday, leading to an elevated heat risk in parts of the Bay Area. The National Weather Service predicts a moderate heat risk for inland cities like Sacramento, Fairfield, Concord, and San Jose on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures expected to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s away from the coast, and mid-90s possible around Sacramento. A few cities in the Central Valley could reach 100, leading to heat stress for sensitive populations. San Francisco, Oakland, and most of the coast will be spared from the worst of this week's warmup.
