The risk of heat-related illness will be high, the weather service warned, noting that heat is the top weather-related killer in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An exceptionally dangerous situation is expected to unfold over the next week as we enter a potentially historic and deadly heat event. Several days of temperatures well above normal will lead to compounding effects among people and infrastructure, with the possibility of numerous heat related fatalities,” the weather service \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=all\">said in its warning\u003c/a>. “It cannot be stressed enough that while one day at these temperatures may be manageable for some, an event of this scale, magnitude, and longevity will likely rival anything we’ve seen in the last 18 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some inland parts of the Bay Area are forecast to reach triple-digit temperatures by early Tuesday afternoon, and highs in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills are expected to reach 110 to 115 this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, where fog and cool ocean air generally curb the dangers of high temperatures, a heat advisory will be in effect for much of Tuesday and Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mission, Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods are among those at the greatest risk of reaching temperatures ranging from the low 80s to the mid-90s this week, according to the city’s Department of Emergency Management. Those “urban heat island neighborhoods” are also home to many unhoused people, older adults and others who are at higher risk of heat illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, the city will implement a hot weather protocol — including increased wellness checks, water bottle distributions and transportation vouchers — through Friday to help those feeling adverse effects of the heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two additional temporary shelters will also have walk-up services available through Friday near the South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods, and the Department of Emergency Management said people should visit public places with air conditioning, including the city’s libraries and Southeast Community Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being able to cool down will be important, but because the high-pressure ridge spurring the heat is coming from over the Pacific Ocean instead of inland, even coastal areas like San Francisco won’t feel the usual overnight reprieve from the marine layer, UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain said during his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq11vvYmzr8\">“Weather West” office hours\u003c/a> on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of high daytime and nighttime heat can pose health risks without an opportunity to cool down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a problem for human health and physiology because the human body requires at least a certain number of cool hours to maintain itself at a reasonably cool temperature in those overnight hours,” Swain said. “Ideally, the natural world drops to that temperature overnight, or at least you have access to some active cooling like air conditioning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The duration of such an extended heat event is a major risk especially for older people and people with underlying health conditions, such as heart disease or kidney disease, said Dr. Gina Solomon, the chief of UC San Francisco’s Occupational, Environmental and Climate Medicine Division.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People’s bodies really are stressed by extreme heat, and the longer the heat goes on, the worse it is. That’s especially true with heat waves like this one, where the temperatures stay high day after day, they stay high even at night, and our bodies don’t get a respite,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get gradually more dehydrated, our cardiovascular systems are stressed, people’s kidneys are stressed. For people with underlying conditions, that’s a real problem and a health risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon noted that sometimes, older people can lose their thirst reflex, so remembering to drink water is very important. She also recommended that all people find cool places to spend time and avoid liquids that can be dehydrating, such as caffeinated drinks and alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heat conditions are also expected to last well into next week, according to Nicole Sarment, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. Because the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting above-average temperatures at least through the next two weeks, people should take extra precautions to stay cool, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still in a potentially deadly heat event that is going to last for the better part of two weeks,” she told KQED. “People need to be in air conditioning; they need to wear light, loose clothing, not be outside if they don’t have to and stay hydrated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Still, there are signs that the omicron surge is starting to climb down from its peak, as test positivity rates dropped from a high of 23% to 20%.

They’re not going to ever come back, and sure enough, this year, boom, they landed,” said Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11896673\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11896673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307.jpg\" alt=\"An orange and black colored butterfly lands on an orange flower.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/GettyImages-1351143307-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A monarch butterfly lands on a flower at the Rinconada Community Garden on Nov. 3, 2021, in Palo Alto, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year a preliminary count showed that more than 13,000 monarchs have arrived at the site in Monterey County, clustering together on pine, cypress and eucalyptus trees and sparking hope among the grove’s volunteers and visitors that the struggling insects can bounce back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists don’t know why the population increased this year, but Jepsen said it is likely a combination of factors, including better conditions on their breeding grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Climatic factors could have influenced the population. We could have gotten an influx of monarchs from the eastern U.S., which occasionally can happen, but it’s not known for sure why the population is what it is this year,” Jepsen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists say the monarch population had sharply dropped because of the destruction of their milkweed habitat along their migratory route as housing expands into their territory and use of pesticides and herbicides increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with farming, climate change is one of the main drivers of the monarch’s threatened extinction, disrupting an annual 3,000-mile migration synced to springtime and the blossoming of wildflowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has been in a drought for several years now, and they need nectar sources in order to be able to fill their bellies and be active and survive,” said Stephanie Turcotte Edenholm, a Pacific Grove Natural History Museum docent who offers guided tours of the sanctuary. “If we don’t have nectar sources and we don’t have the water that’s providing that, then that is an issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monarch butterflies lack state and federal legal protection to keep their habitat from being destroyed or degraded. Last year, they were denied federal protection but the insects are now among the candidates for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Olga R.

Better weather conditions were expected to aid the firefight on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dixie Fire grew by 110 square miles between Thursday night and Friday morning, making the blaze the largest wildfire currently raging in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to be a long firefight,” said Capt. Mitch Matlow, spokesperson of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire was 35% contained Friday morning but was largely expanding within the perimeter firefighters previously established. It now spans an area of 676 square miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a two-hour drive south, officials said some 100 homes and other buildings burned in the fast-moving River Fire that broke out Wednesday near Colfax, a town of about 2,000. There was no containment and about 6,000 people were ordered to evacuate in Placer and Nevada counties, state fire officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Placer County has declared a local emergency, which legally asserts continuing risk to life and property and that the response is beyond the capabilities of local resources, according to the county. Placer’s proclamation requests state and federal assistance, but on Friday the county said in a statement that a federal disaster has not yet been declared that would authorize disaster assistance for residents and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a local emergency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a fire management assistance grant to ensure the availability of resources to suppress the River Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the fire tore through the little California mountain town of Greenville, which resident Eva Gorman said was a place of community and strong character, where neighbors volunteered to move furniture, colorful baskets of flowers brightened Main Street, and writers, musicians, mechanics and chicken farmers mingled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it’s ashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As hot, bone-dry, gusty weather hit California, the fire raged through the Gold Rush-era Sierra Nevada community of about 1,000, incinerating much of the downtown that included wooden buildings more than a century old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winds were expected to calm and change direction heading into the weekend but that good news came too late for Gorman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRE_ButteCo/status/1423724481671876608\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just completely devastating. We’ve lost our home, my business, our whole downtown area is gone,” said Gorman, who heeded evacuation warnings and left town with her husband a week-and-a-half ago as the Dixie Fire approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She managed to grab some photos off the wall, her favorite jewelry and important documents but couldn’t help but think of the family treasures left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My grandmother’s dining room chairs, my great-aunt’s bed from Italy. There is a photo I keep visualizing in my mind of my son when he was 2. He’s 37 now,” she said. “At first you think, ‘It’s OK, I have the negatives.’ And then you realize, ‘Oh. No. I don’t.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials had not yet assessed the number of destroyed buildings, but Plumas County Sheriff Todd Johns estimated on Thursday that “well over” 100 homes had burned in and near the town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart is crushed by what has occurred there,” said Johns, a lifelong Greenville resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities also shut down Lassen Volcanic National Park Thursday because of the explosive wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11883878\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11883878\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234472110-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firefighters survey a decimated downtown as the Dixie Fire burns through Greenville, California, on Aug. 4, 2021.

She arrived Jan. 23 to visit family, officials said in a news release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The patient has stayed at home with family since she arrived, except for two occasions when she sought outpatient medical care. She has been regularly monitored and was never sick enough to be hospitalized, the release said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman’s family members have also been isolated at the home. The health department has been bringing them food and other necessities, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A second case is not unexpected. With our large population and the amount of travel to China for both personal and business reasons, we will likely see more cases, including close contacts to our cases,” Dr. Sara Cody, the county’s health officer, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11799400/first-bay-area-case-of-coronavirus-confirmed-in-santa-clara-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first case\u003c/a> in the Bay Area was a man who traveled to Wuhan and Shanghai before returning Jan. 24 to California, where he became ill, Cody said Friday. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
