cooling centers call a friend if they have ac.f you can work in the office today, you probably have ac. there that's not a bad idea because it is going to be hot once again this afternoon. look at temperatures right now. it's already very warm 60s and 70s. so we have the launching pad to get us even hotter this afternoon in our hills. it is hot 86, in the oakland hills, but in the east foothills of san jose, it's currently 90 degrees. so the heat advisories, the excessive heat warnings have now been extended. another day they were set to expire. today they will expire tomorrow night as our heat wave rolls on. so looking at the inland forecast, just like yesterday, it is hot. hottest areas, probably going 106 107 around the bay shoreline. we're doing the 90s again, just like yesterday. it is hot today around the bay shoreline, mid and upper 90s for daytime highs and along the coast. it is going to be warm upper 70s to the lower 80s. so stay cool. let's check in with gloria. see those drive times. >> we do have a commuter alert for

people who fix ac and who's in the market for air conditioners? bay area home buyers. the heat wave is keeping baker salmon busy. he's a senior technician with hometown heating and air conditioning and has been responding to calls all day. >> usually october, we're getting ready to go to the heating season, but the demand, the last couple of weeks and then the last couple of days also has been really high when it comes to air conditioning because of the weather. >> there is an often need for air conditioning in alameda. it's an island with plenty of bay breezes, but new data suggests warmer weather is pushing the one time luxury of air conditioning into the realm of necessity for many. data from zillow's consumer housing trends report 2024 shows that nationally, air conditioning is the top feature for home buyers. 83% say air conditioning is very important or extremely important in their home buying decision. that number has grown over the past six years. a study by the brookings institute states that as extreme heat grips the globe, access to air conditioning is an ur

so a lot of schools here just don't have ac. or if they do have ac, it's really an old outdated system and that's really all over california that this is happening. it's pretty rare to have working new ac systems. so a lot of schools in california are just unprepared for this kind of heat. if schools do have ac, they're often old and they need some work. so according to the associated press, all or most schools in long beach have no ac affecting 14,000 students than here in oakland. they look there, they said as many as 2000 classrooms do not have ac. a report from uc berkeley and stanford last year says between 15 and 20% of k through 12 public schools have no ac at al, and as many as another 10% need major repairs or replacements for their systems to work adequately. advocates say that that's likely an underestimate as well. a lot of bay area schools, they've been saying, you know, we're just not going to have recess outside. we're not going to have athletic events outside. so i know here in san francisco yesterday, the school

. >> the p-g-and-e's skyrocketing, especially with the ac.e weren't expecting to use the ac this far into the year, especially in october. >> the bay area heat wave stretching on, and as we continue to track the dangerous heat conditions, we're also looking at the financial impacts of these higher temperatures we're experiencing. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm ama daetz. in fact, a study from a santa clara university professor found extreme heat causes higher default and delinquency rates, especially among low income households. >> but before we get into the financial impact of the weather, let's get to the very latest on the conditions outside right now. here's a live look as you take a look outside in the bay area. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is here. sandhya, what a scorcher. >> yeah. dan and ama, this is brutal. this heat wave continues and let's take a look at the highs so far. san jose hitting 104 degrees. these are not the official highs. they don't come down for a little bit longer. b

the october heat wave has folks cranking up their ac. in fact, air conditioning companies tell me this is normally their slow season, but not this year. i'm spending a lot of time in the house under behind the fans because i yeah, it gets to it's too hot for me. bob and shirley morales have their curtains drawn and fans running in every room tonight as this week's triple digit temperatures have broken, records the concord couple's air conditioner stopped working, and when it stopped because we turned it on and it wasn't working, we thought, oh, we're we might be in trouble here, especially since it's going to get up over 100 and you can see i'm dripping now, so it gets really hot. baker allman with hometown heating and air conditioning, says normally he'd be servicing heaters in october, but it's been nonstop ac repairs all week. it's been pretty wild. it's been it's been pretty busy. you know, i told my wife, don't call and ask when i'm coming home. i'll be home when i'm done. de la salle high school has its ac on as student athletes ke

if schools do have ac, they're often old and outdated systems. according to cal matters in oakland, as many as 2000 classrooms at 77 schools do not have ac. lausd leaders say equipping those schools with ac would be expensive and complicated, costing at least $400 million. a report from uc berkeley and stanford last year says between 15 and 20% of k through 12 public schools have no ac at all, and as many as another 10% need major replacements or repairs for their systems to work adequately. advocates say that's likely an underestimate. and parents we spoke to say that they're just used to it. >> i think we dressed them cool. i think most apartments don't have ac and you keep them hydrated. it's only for a couple of days and we got to enjoy it. so you'll take the heat where you can get it and you'll take the cool where you can get it only lasts a couple of days and we stay cool this weekend. yeah the hot schools lead to more student and teacher illnesses and absences, and studies show they reduce children's ability to learn. >> for many schools,

sun valley elementary and san pedro elementary have partial ac. glenwood elementary, one of the older schools, does not have any ac at all. according to the superintendent. quote, the hvac projects for the three schools will start when school gets out in the summer of 2025, and we anticipate sun valley and san pedro will be complete by the end of summer 2025. we anticipate glenwood will be complete by the end of summer 2026. the superintendent says they're bringing in fans, reminding everyone to drink a lot of water, and for classrooms without air conditioning, schools are using the gym or multi-purpose room for classes or recess. schools having limited or no air conditioning are a big concern in california, uc berkeley and stanford university researchers wrote in a report last year that, quote, between 15 and 20% of california's k through 12 public schools have no functioning mechanical hvac systems at all. and today, on abc seven getting answers. doctor sarah hinkley of uc berkeley center for cities and schools told us. students struggle more at

remember, people have ac in san francisco. that is a very hot day for san francisco. not a record but hot enough. 97 in oakland today, 106. that was a record in san jose. 108. not a record in little more, but that is just smoking hot. 103 unconquered 104, in santa rosa. a very pleasant 74 degrees in half moon bay. temperatures, yeah, they were the story. also, the air quality seeing some very poor air quality showing up. you see this one center here tipping over into some of the red category is now. so that is very poor. you can see the poor air quality also moving down the santa clara valley in the south bay, too. as high pressure sits over head, kind of trapping a lot of the plumes down below. and it's been day after day several days and this ridge of high pressure. and so that means you can't get that mix in the atmosphere. we haven't seen much in the way of wind now. i think that will change a little bit by tomorrow. probably going to be some pretty decent, our quality along the coastline. we're going to sea breeze developing there. and that should up to flush out

so i sure hope you have patience and ac in your car.we look at the 80s around our coastline, 90s ranging from oakland down into fremont and those triple digits once again for wine country out towards the livermore valley and down into parts of san jose and morgan hill. we're going to start to change things a little bit as we go on into levi's stadium, where it's usually a gorgeous day for football. you're going to feel that heat as you're walking into levi's stadium. we're going to kick off in the mid 90s and into the game, maybe by third, fourth quarter we could be approaching those triple digit temperatures. so the hats, the light layers, the flip flops if you can, and into the afternoon if you take vta or any of the other transit's, it's going to be packed and it's going to be hot. so good luck for you there. going into counting down to a cool down what we all need, we are going to be looking at some systems just to our west that are going to bring finally the return of our natural ac here, some more cloud cover and some cooler tempe

ac transit san francisco ferry, vta and the way it works.ull price for the first leg of your trip, and then the second leg of your trip would be discounted by $2.50. so say, for example, you took bart in to the rockridge bart station, and then you took ac transit somewhere else. that ac transit bus ride would essentially be free because it costs less than $2.50 to take it. bart estimates that under this pilot program, its average rider will end up saving about $1,000 a year in transit costs. >> oh, i can appreciate it, especially with the prices of bart going up and parking. it cost me $1,012 to get to work every day. >> i have a lot of peers who take multiple forms of transportation, and it would save them long walks, just saving the money or actually taking them or learning new routes. >> it's a meaningful change. we know folks need cheaper transit in order to, you know, make that last step of ditching your car and instead choosing transit. and so this is a great sign that we're doing new things to attract more riders. >> now, the money to

so i hope your car has ac. and we're also going to see those warm temperatures out there in places like half moon bay. the morning will start out cool, but then we'll get into some 70s possible seconds as we go on throughout the day there. now there is relief on the way, but of course we have to get through tomorrow. scorching temperatures. so i'll walk you through the extended outlook coming up in a few minutes. back to you. cynthia. thank you. an early warning if you're heading to the niners game tomorrow, it is likely to be the hottest 49ers game ever at levi's stadium. head coach kyle shanahan asked the nfl if the niners could wear their all white uniforms. the nfl said no. a reminder for all those fans out there stay hydrated. bring those hats. if you can, and you can track the heat and fire danger using our nbc bay area weather app. you can download it for free in the apple and google play store in berkeley, california. you got it. hey! guys, that is absolutely wild. that is the moment a college student w
