Overview

• A high-pressure system is driving record-breaking temperatures across California, with highs reaching the 80s in the Bay Area and near 100 in Death Valley.
• Cities like Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose are expected to surpass temperature records, some dating back nearly a century.
• The heatwave, peaking Monday and Tuesday, is the hottest weather the Bay Area has seen so far in 2025.
• Meteorologists are monitoring the possibility of a rare mid-spring atmospheric river that could bring significant rain later this month.
• While the heat poses no fire risk, beachgoers are cautioned about sneaker waves and rip currents, with advisories in effect until Tuesday night.
