Much of the Bay Area is under an Excessive Heat Warning this weekend. The National Weather Service said daytime temperatures inland will stay dangerously high through Sunday.
Weekend daytime temperatures across much of the Bay Area will stay dangerously high, with an Excessive Heat Watch in place through Sunday.
A Spare the Air alert was issued Saturday encompassing seven Bay Area counties — including San Francisco — and half of Solano and Sonoma Counties. On Spare the Air days, people are encouraged to only do outdoor exercise in the early morning hours when smog levels are lower. Smog can cause throat irritation and chest pain and is considered particularly harmful for children, seniors and people with respiratory and heart conditions.
People can find out when a Spare the Air alert is in effect by registering at www.sparetheair.org, calling HELP-AIR, downloading the Spare the Air app or connecting with Spare the Air on Facebook or Twitter.
