San Francisco Sets All-Time Record High Temperature
2 Sep 2017, 11:05 am
San Francisco hit 106º fahrenheit on Friday, setting the all day record for warmest day in recorded history.
How Rare is it?
Using just your two hands (and a toe), you can count out the times the city known for its fog has hit the century mark.
In fact, quite a few places saw record high temperatures yesterday.

Why?
A massive ridge of high pressure over the western U.S. is to blame for the recent heat wave.
This also means that there is another day of heat in store for the western states.
Forecast
Dangerously hot conditions expected again across the #BayArea and #CentralCoast today. Take necessary precautions to stay cool and hydrated. pic.twitter.com/gLxxyjUu8B

However, it is looking like the gradual cool down will commence on Sunday.
