Heat records fall across Bay Area, but a little relief is coming.

Bay Area hits peak heat for the year — keeping many indoors, and others, not so much

So much for the end of summer.

Scorching temperatures hit several Bay Area locations Monday and same day records were tied in Oakland, San Jose, and Mountain View.

It was 93 degrees in Oakland (tied record, 1973), 98 in San Jose (1963) and 95 in Mountain View (1999), said National Weather Service forecaster Bob Benjamin.

A dome of high pressure that started at the bottom of an off-shore flow has expanded over the past couple of days, as expected, keeping the cool air out, said National Weather Service meteorologist Anna Schneider.

The weather service issued a heat advisory from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday throughout the Bay Area counties.

Based on Monday’s temperatures, Alum Rock Park in San Jose will be closed Tuesday because of hot weather and potential fire risk, according to city officials.

Firefighters were fighting a blaze in the Santa Cruz Mountain near Loma Prieta that broke out Monday afternoon.

The Bay Area can expect to cool off beginning Tuesday, especially on the coast, Benjamin said.

There will be a more significant cooling on Wednesday, with highs dropping to the 60s along the coast and mid-to-upper 70s to low 80s inland.

“It’ll be a definite cool down as the week progresses,” Benjamin said.
