Heat advisory
/O.CON.KMTR.HT.Y.0009.000000T0000Z- 080830T0100Z/ EAST BAY INTERIOR VALLEYS-SANTA CLARA VALLEY…INCLUDING SAN JOSE- 403 AM PDT FRI AUG 29 2008
…HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM PDT THIS EVENING FOR THE EAST BAY INTERIOR VALLEYS AND THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY INCLUDING SAN JOSE…
NEAR OR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM 95 TO 105 ARE FORECAST AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE EAST BAY INTERIOR VALLEYS AND THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY. A WEAK SEABREEZE WILL LIKELY BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES LATER THIS EVENING WITH MUCH COOLER DAYTIME HIGHS FORECAST OVER THE WEEKEND.
A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR- CONDITIONED ROOM…STAY OUT OF THE SUN…AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
The property owner for my current residence has only provided one 8000 BTU (300-350 sq ft) cooler for an entire house (2000 sq ft) that is located in the San Jose area.
Pet owners are jailed for cruelty to animals over heat stroke, yet California law does not protect renters (specifically, there is no obligation in the implied warranty of habitability which requires an owner or property landlord to provide air conditioning, yet pet owners can be jailed if their pets are left in the heat.) It’s outrageous!
