Will the heat wave affect the parade?
Mayor Wu declared a three-day heat emergency from Tuesday until Thursday, as temperatures are expected to peak near 100 degrees in the city.
“Heat waves are a risk to our community, so everyone should make sure to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity when possible, wear plenty of sunscreen, and check on your neighbors and loved ones,” Wu said in a statement Monday.
Temperatures on Friday are expected to dip, with highs reaching just 83 degrees and chances of late afternoon showers offering a cool-down.
