it's usually held right in the middle of the day and drew says it is expected to get to 104 there today. triple digit temperatures and power outages can be a dangerous combination. pg and e is standing by with extra resources. and in fact, here's a look at the pg and e outage map. right now. you can see that it is sporadic. there are some neighborhoods without electricity in some pockets. we are not seeing any purple triangles now that would indicate a public safety power shut off. p-g-and-e's says they are not planning on doing that today. the utility gave us a rundown of what crews are doing to get through this days long heat wave. >> we've inspected all of our critical substations to ensure all equipment is operating properly, and no apparent issues. we have flown uh- helicopters on 50 transmission lines just to proactively patrol to make sure that we don't see any evidence of any type of, a tree or anything that could come in contact with our lines and disrupt service. >> p-g-and-e's says. energy

they were out here like at 10 a.m. so it was the earliest it's been in many years. wow. it used to be like that like 15 years ago. and it's getting back to like that again. wow. so it was really festive yesterday. if you ever want to have a little party come out to july 3rd in downtown danville, it's a festive atmosphere. >> amazing. and rob, i know the heat is kind of at everyone on top of everyone's mind today. it's going to be around 9697 here in danville. talk to me a little bit about the precautions you are urging some of the parade goers to really take even before heading to the parade. >> yeah, we're telling everybody to stay hydrated, stay hydrated. obviously but bring water, bring spray bottles and things like that just to, you know, stay cool and don't bring your pets the worst thing to do is have a pet, a dog or something. walking on this hot pavement. so, you know, use your common sense and, you know, bring an umbrella that

would help. and it's not just the viewers, but the participants in the parade. they're sitting back there waiting to come out. so that's a whole nother obstacle. having them wait and they're just chomping at the bit. everybody wants to go out first. yeah. so that's a challenge okay. >> and then rob explain to us, you know, we have heard from other communities like the city of antioch, they decided to cancel their parade because of the heat. why was it important for the city of danville to continue doing the parade despite the heat? >> well, fortunately, we do it at 9 a.m. right now. when i got here, it was 72 degrees, which is really perfect. by the end of the parade, it might get up to 90, but i think leading up to the parade, it's going to be in the 80s probably, which is pretty comfortable. and we've been through it before. the parades that i understand that have been canceled are later in the day when it heats up, like at 4:00 is probably the hottest time of the day. i think this

was the perfect timing for a parade. >> absolutely. and it feels pretty cool out here right now, although we know that's going to change in the next couple of hours. but thank you, rob, so much for your time. we're going to check back in with you in the next half hour, but keep in mind there are going to be around 30 to 40,000 people here in downtown danville. the parade starts at nine and ends at noon today. live in danville. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you. lena, no matter what your plans are today, make sure you keep the holiday safe on the roads. the chp is starting its maximum enforcement period. fourth for the 4th of july holiday. it means all available officers will be out on patrol looking out for speeding, distracted and dangerous drivers. maximum enforcement runs through sunday night. if you are still trying to figure out your plans for the fourth, just head to the front page of our website for info on fireworks, drone shows, festivals and county fairs. it's at abc7 news.com or on our abc, abc7 news bay area app to ask you see the ash fall? >> then the smoke started coming in the sun was being blared out,

not theoretical for governors. >> the stakes could not be higher. >> and so far, two congressional democrats have called on president biden to drop out. the white house has repeatedly blamed his debate performance on a cold and jet lag in a new interview, the president told a wisconsin radio host he made a mistake by not performing bette. kumasi thanks, gloria. >> abc news anchor george stephanopoulos is sitting down with president biden for his first television interview. since that debate. you can watch the 30 minute special tomorrow night at 8:00 right here on abc seven new this morning. british voters are casting their ballots in an election expected to end 14 years of conservative rule in the u.k. labor party leader keir starmer cast his ballot this morning. he could be the next prime minister if voters return his party to power. his opponen, conservative prime minister rishi sunak, who's a stanford graduate. voter concerns around the economy, cost of living, britain's public services along

for good reason. those hot temperatures. but the coast really stays immune from the excessive heat. so 68 the high and half moon bay. but 104 in concord will go to 98. in san jose, 90 in san mateo, 87 in oakland, 77 in the city, a hot 100 in santa rosa. so here's a look at the fireworks forecast. we will have clear skies. we are totally fog free. and look at your 9 p.m. temperatures this evening. it will be quite mild. >> reggie drew thank you. still to come, one country says their citizens aren't working enough, so they're going to do a six day workweek. then what? bay area based patelco credit union is saying about customers money. nearly a week after a ransomware attack, and where some bay area residents will be treated to drone shows instead of a firework

concerns about fire safety and emergency vehicle access, officials are closing grizzly peak in the oakland hills. so these streets will be closed today. southbound lakeshore boulevard from macarthur to east 18th street, bellevue avenue, el embarcadero, and portions of grand avenue, including the off ramp from i-5 70 grizzly peak boulevard between skyline and centennial drive, will also be closed. that starts at 6:00 this morning, and it goes until 6:00 tomorrow morning. this is usually a popular spot for

people to watch the fireworks, but because the fire concerns this stretch of road is going to be closed, there will be emergency personnel on hand to keep people from entering this corridor has been closed for 4th of july for the past five years, and officials say because of that, there have been no confirmed fires and no closures have significantly reduced crowds and illegal parking at the lookout points. now, if you have unused fireworks, take a look at your screen right here, because these are the oakland fire stations where you can drop them off so they can be properly disposed. all fireworks are illegal in oakland. if you are caught with them, you can face a $1,000 fine, and you should also check with your county because they are illegal in several counties as well. reggie. >> gloria, thank you. for many cities across the bay area, drones will be lighting up the sky for independence day celebrations. some of those locations include san pablo, napa and mare island. >> journal art shows are pretty special. we're not in the business of replacing fireworks by any means. we like to call ourselves an alternative, and

the drone folks say that they're safer during the fire season. >> they're more environmentally friendly. plus it minimizes noise disturbances and litter vets. we spoke to say that every year, july 4th celebrations lead to a 60% surge in lost pets and having a microchip is not always enough. the medical director at the city of san jose animal care center shares some tips, including creating a comfortable hiding spot, locking doggie doors, playing calm music or white noise, exploring calming treatments like hugging sweaters or even medication and avoid a common mistake with microchips. >> i would definitely log on to the website that your microchip is linked to, and make sure that your phone number and email and address are accurate. we get a lot where the phone numbers have been disconnected, so it becomes a dead end chip. >> also, if you do lose a pet, try posting to nextdoor or other social media experts say it's been very helpful when it comes

to getting lost pets home. >> ride hailing companies could soon face an additional tax. transit activists in san francisco want that money to help muni close its large budget deficit that's expected next year. today they'll be turning in signatures they've collected in support of this proposal. this is according to the examiner, the community transit act would impose a graduated tax on uber, lyft and waymo service in the city. the money would go toward maintaining or even expanding muni service and toward its discounted fare programs. >> you've probably heard about some places doing four day work weeks to prevent burnout, but now one country is doing the total opposite. greece is the first european country to introduce a six day workweek under a new law. some employees can either work an extra two hours per day or add an entire eight hour shift. greece's prime minister says this will boost productivity. the government also argues that addresses issues of employees working unpaid overtime. >> okay, maybe if you are working anyway, you might as

well get credit for working. maybe some people feel like they're working that six day already and not receiving the benefits. >> i thought the whole thing about living in europe was that you work less and get more social benefits, and you get your siesta, the countries, you know, and you get off like the whole month of august. i thought that's what europe was. why am i was i lied to i don't know okay. >> yeah. it seems like a lot. i had a four day workweek. my first job, and i really liked it. i mean, it was a ten hour day for four days. okay. but then you get three days off, so you get to really recover. i love that were those you left that job? >> yeah. >> no. good point, good point. yes >> okay. >> but i think you need at least two days to recover that, especially in our industry. >> so that's really cool. >> yeah. hum. >> yeah. >> well, well the good old days working in greece. >> six days. yeah. boy. >> all right. this morning we'll take you to santa cruz. a live picture right now, i bet if we fast forward this about three

hours from now, this will be a pretty busy place. we'll look at the beach forecast for you. it will be very popular with folks trying to get some cooler weather. many of our beaches will be in the 70s today, from bodega to ocean beach. santa cruz, though at 82 degrees, will have a northerly breeze. pretty light today. your uv index is very high in the ocean. water temperature is in the mid 50s. so looking at today's forecast again, going above 100 degrees inland today with those excessive heat warnings around the bay shoreline, it will be warm in the upper 80s and lower 90s later on today. and then along the coast, we'll have mostly sunny skies and those temperatures mainly in the upper 60s and lower 70s. so highs today, our extreme heat continues with those excessive heat warnings in the south bay. 103 morgan hill 98. in san jose, about 93. in sunnyvale along the peninsula, 96. redwood city 90. in san mateo, 92. los altos, but cooler along the coast across the city. today we'll have a wide range upper 60s, lower 70s along the ocean, but upper 70s downtown with 83 in south san
