A Spare the Air alert issued for Friday by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District has been extended to Saturday as hot temperatures are expected to combine with vehicle exhaust to create unhealthy amounts of smog.
Triple-digit temperatures are expected across much of the inland Bay Area this weekend and the air district is encouraging people to limit smog levels by avoiding unnecessary trips by car.
People are advised to also limit outdoor exercise to the early morning hours when levels of smog, otherwise known as ozone, are lower.
Smog can cause throat irritation, congestion and chest pain and is particularly harmful for children, seniors and people with respiratory or heart conditions, according to the air district.
Saturday’s alert is the third issued by the air district this year after Friday’s and a day in April.
Solar power drops off rapidly to zero after 3pm.
There’s no wind to turn wing turbines or blow pollution away.
Where’s the power coming from to keep lights on and AC going ? ?
DEMs is such smart people . . . .
What a load of you know what! I don’t like the Libs telling us how to live. I’m gonna burn my logs and charcoal all day long. Have a great weekend.

We’ll exercise our personal liberties and continue with our planned activities. Thanks.
