California Heatwave Breaks Records as Bay Area Temperatures Soar

The Bay Area experiences its first significant warm spell of 2025, with record-breaking highs expected before a midweek cooldown.

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.
