This is an AC Alert message from the City of Berkeley.  

 

Temperatures tomorrow, Tuesday June 4, are expected to reach the mid-80s, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a Heat Advisory including Berkeley.  

 

Take steps today to make sure your household, neighbors, and loved ones stay safe and comfortable tomorrow. 

1. Prepare to stay cool in your home: Gather supplies to stay cool, like fans and ice. Watch this video about how to keep your house cool in the summer without air conditioning 
2. Plan where to go tomorrow if your home gets too hot: The following public sites are equipped with air conditioning and will be open tomorrow, June 4:

• Central Library, 2090 Kittredge Street (10am-8pm)
• Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch Library, 1901 Russell Street (10am-8pm)
• Claremont Branch Library, 2940 Benvenue Avenue (10am-8pm)
• South Berkeley Senior Center, 2939 Ellis Street (9am-4pm) 
• North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Street (normally closed on Tuesdays but will be open 1pm-4pm for cooling only)

3. Buddy up with your friends, family, and neighbors: Make a plan to check on the vulnerable people in your network at least twice tomorrow. 

Even though many people don’t consider the mid-80s to be very hot, the National Weather Service considers tomorrow to have moderate heat riskbecause our bodies are not yet acclimatized to the heat of summer. Elders, children, and people with certain medical conditions can be very vulnerable to heat. People who live alone are especially vulnerable. 

 

Based on current Berkeley forecasts, temperatures are expected to drop to the low 80s on Wednesday June 5, and further into the 70s into the rest of the week.
