Due to continuing hot weather, the National Weather Service has extended the heat advisory for Northern California including the entire Santa Clara County, until Thursday, June 22 at 9 p.m. Vulnerable populations including young children, the elderly, those with chronic diseases or disabilities, pregnant women and people who are socially isolated are at substantial risk. In addition, pets, crops, and livestock may demand extra care through the hot and dry weather. Pets require shade and extra water and should never be left in a closed, parked car.
