Epic Heat Wave Effect

Last two weeks, san francisco and the whole bay areas have suffered an epic heat wave. “This was the highest reading since records were first kept there in 1874,” says by the National Weather Service meteorologist Duane Dykema. On the September 1st, the temperature in San Francisco was as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit at noon, which was the highest ever. Meanwhile, some of the traditional hotspots in the inland spots are also very hot, just as the Livermore hit 114 degrees, and Concord hit 109.

This strange climate change and weather was not harming people but also caused many wildfires Northern California and Oregon. According to the air district spokeswoman Kristine Roselius, "“It’s possible that this weekend we will have unhealthy air
quality advisories for both smoke and ozone.” This suffocating heat not only caused people to heat stork and physical discomfort but also sparked fire worries. In other words, this low humidity is what kills people and what makes the fire danger so high to harm to nature.

According to a study by the California Energy Commission, "Historically, extremely warm temperatures in the San Francisco Bay region have mostly occurred in July and August, but as climate warming takes hold, the occurrences of these events will likely begin in June and could continue to occur in September.”
