Temperatures Saturday afternoon hit 106 in Livermore, 93 in San Jose and 77 in Oakland.
The Bay Area’s first summer heat wave arrived just in time for backyard barbeques and fireworks shows this Fourth of July weekend as temperatures soared into the upper-90s and triple digits across much of the region Saturday before an expected cool down ahead of the holiday.
By Saturday afternoon, temperatures had hit 106 in Livermore, 100 in Santa Rosa, 93 in San Jose, 77 in Oakland and 69 in downtown San Francisco, according to the weather service. The readings were expected to keep ticking up into the afternoon, likely reaching highs for the year. “We’re expecting big crowds today probably, our highest single-day number so far this season,” said Dustin Stene, the park’s recreation supervisor. Stene expected as many as 1,600 visitors Saturday. The park added extra lifeguards and staffing in preparation for the busy weekend.
