If you went outside today and thought it felt a little hotter than usual, that’s because it is. With a temperature of 84 degrees in the early afternoon, today is officially the hottest day in San Francisco this year, according to ABC 7 meteorologist Drew Tuma. Before this week, San Francisco had not seen temperatures exceeding 70 degrees in over two months.

It’s even hotter in the Bay Area, with Fremont and Redwood City hitting the lower end of the 90s, and San Jose and Palo Alto both hitting the mid-90s.

The temperature rise is the result of two separate high pressure systems – one over the Eastern Pacific and one over the Texas Panhandle.

In addition to the heat, the San Francisco Bay Area will also be hit by poor air quality this weekend. The Bay Area Quality Management District had already issued a spare-the-air alarm in the region for Friday and Saturday due to the presence of forest fire smoke and has since been extended to Sunday. Until the end of the warning, residents are prohibited from burning wood indoors and outdoors.

Cooler temperatures are expected for Sunday and the rest of the week. Forecasts predict a low 70s on Sunday and a mid to high 60s by Friday.
