Healdsburg Under Memorial Day Heat Advisory

HEALDSBURG, CA — A heat advisory has been issued for Memorial Day for much of the Bay Area and the North Bay, including Healdsburg.

The advisory is in effect from noon until 9 p.m. on Memorial Day, when hot temperatures are expected to range from the low 90s to the low 100s in the interior North Bay and East Bay.

"Sea breeze will keep temperatures along the coast and bay in the 80s and low 90s," the National Weather Service San Francisco said. "Overnight lows will be in the 60s and 70s in the hills, so expect little relief. These will be some of our hottest temperatures of the year thus far."

The advisory encompasses the North Bay Interior Valleys, North Bay Mountains, East Bay Interior Valleys, East Bay Hills and the Diablo Range.

In Healdsburg, the high temperature is currently forecast to reach 101 degrees Monday.

According to the National Weather Service:

"Sensitive populations such as the elderly, infants, and those without access to air conditioning will likely be susceptible to heat-related illnesses," the National Weather Service said. "Take precautions to protect yourself and others around you from the heat. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

"Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location."
