Ugh!

100 degrees tomorrow (37 C)

severe heat warning

air quality orange (basically thick smog hurts lungs hard to breathe)

high humidity

Only about 15 mins of sunshine for me tomorrow (thats how much you are suppose to have under an orange air quality day. (there is a red air quality day thats when people start dying and dropping like flies)

    Heck its so bad they treat these warnings like hurricane warnings or tornado warnings.

[/FONT]  (07-16) 17:21 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Bay Area commuters will be able to ride free on two dozen public transit systems Monday on the region's fourth Spare the Air day this summer, air-quality and transportation officials announced today.  The region's air-quality agency declares the free-transit days on 25 bus, rail and ferry lines in the Bay Area when the air is expected to be especially smoggy -- typically when temperatures are high and winds are low, as is forecast for Monday.  The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District called Spare the Air days on June 22, 23 and 26  -- and transportation officials said transit ridership increased an average of 10 percent, or about 155,000 riders a day.  Last week, the transportation commission authorized an additional $5.3 million in state transit assistance funds, and funding from vehicle registrations, to pay for three more Spare the Air days this summer. Typically, the agencies allocate enough funding for three such days a year.  The following transit agencies will provide free rides all day on Monday:  San Francisco Muni; Altamont Commuter Express; AC Transit; Alameda-Oakland Ferry; Alameda-Harbor Bay Ferry; BART; Benicia Breeze; Caltrain; Cloverdale Transit; County Connection; Dumbarton Express; Fairfield/Suisun Transit; Golden Gate Transit and ferries; Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority (WHEELS); Napa VINE; Petaluma Transit; Rio Vista Breeze; SamTrans; Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority; Santa Rosa City Bus; Sonoma County Transit; Tri Delta Transit; Union City Transit; Vacaville City Coach; and WestCat.  For more information, go to [A href="http://www.511.org/"]www.511.org[/A].  E-mail Simone Sebastian at [A href="mailto:[email protected]"][email protected][/A].

 we hardly have stay inside alerts because we do not have the high humidity that you experience.  Check out Pleasanton, in the East Bay, its going to be in the 100s.  Fortunately for us living near the water we have the sea breeze.
