Here is a link to the heat advisory issued today by the National Weather Service for the North Bay area through Thursday evening.
“A Heat Advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The hot weather will 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. Avoid leaving pets or family members in
hot cars.”
