🌡️Why are we worried about highs in the 80s and 90s? Because this time of year, the body isn't used to dealing with this level of heat, so these highs are more impactful now than they would be in July. Learn more about heat safety: https://... https://x.com/NWSBayArea/status/2031892357054906524

California Communities’ Recovery Time Between Wildfire Smoke Events Is Shrinking Californians have long dealt with wildfire smoke as a seasonal fact of life, but those fires have become more intense and frequent, raising the profile of wildfire smoke as a public health issue. Now,...

🔥 A new study from researchers at Scripps Oceanography finds that periods of clean air between multi-day wildfire smoke events in California shrank by more than 60% from 2006 to 2020 — leaving communities with less time to recover before smoke returns. Learn more: scripps.ucsd.edu/news/califor...

The warm-up starts to kick in tomorrow, with high temperatures about ten degrees above average.

The real heat wave arrives next week, when daily highs will be 15°-25° above-normal — near-record highs for several consecutive days! #CAwx

Another mild day on Tuesday, then we'll warm up to 10°-15° above-average for most of the Bay Area the rest of the week.

An even bigger warm-up is lurking in the extended forecast. We'll be in near-record territory from Sunday through the middle of next week!

Still breezy on Thursday, but the winds will turn a bit to run parallel to the coast...and even turning offshore already in the North Bay late in the day.

Offshore winds will prevail Friday, allowing a warm-up to kick in that will send us to 10°-12° above-average this weekend!

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Breezy conditions across the Bay Area for the next couple of days, but below the threshold of a Wind Advisory. Make sure your patio furniture is secure, and keep both hands on the wheel!
