The National Weather Service has extended its heat advisory through Saturday, Oct. 7. Afternoon high temperatures are expected to remain elevated through Saturday, though a few degrees cooler along the coast. The cumulative effect of several warm days in a row is expected to impact vulnerable populations, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.

Take care of yourself and your families by adhering to the following preparedness actions:

     • Drink plenty of fluids.
     • Stay in air-conditioned areas or go to an air-conditioned building if you do not have A/C.
     • Limit outdoor activities during the hottest time of the day.
     • Do not leave kids or pets in vehicles.
     • Watch for hot pavement when walking dogs.
     • Check on relatives and neighbors.

In anticipation of the heat, the City of Mountain View will open the following facilities to the public as air-conditioned cooling centers to find shelter from the heat:
