Discretion is the better part of valor (is that the phrase?) -- implementing my #heatwave contingency plans for the library (and bicycling). Placing holds on the materials I am interested in at the outside locker, and will bicycle and pick up the materials later this week either early in the morning, or later in the evening when it is cool (probably morning, a lot less traffic). #contingencyplanning
Checking three different forecast websites to see if I should bicycle to the library tomorrow or not through heatwave conditions. #CAwx #heatwave #BikeTooter

Millions of people in California told to stay out of the sun for 2 days
Millions of California residents are being warned to avoid sun exposure as an extreme heat wave is expected for much of the state, with temperatures forecast to surpass 100 degrees in multiple regions. The heat is expected to start on Friday and last until Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued extreme heat watches and advisories for the Central Valley, Sacramento Valley, Sierra foothills and other inland areas. It is urging people to stay indoors, remain hydrated and check on vulnerable people. On the other side of the state line, similar alerts affect Nevada's southern valleys, including Las Vegas and Death Valley, where risks remain high through the weekend. #weather #heatwave #CAwx #NVwx
