The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has extended air quality advisories through Monday for wildfire smoke in the region.
The air district has issued the advisories for weeks amid the various wildfires burning around the state, and has occasionally issued Spare the Air alerts to ban wood burning when the smoke levels exceed federal health standards, but said the smoke will not reach those levels over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
The air quality is expected to generally be in the moderate range on the Air Quality Index this weekend, although some areas may see higher levels of smoke come to the surface at times, according to the air district.
Anyone who smells smoke should avoid it if possible by staying inside with windows and doors closed and by setting their air conditioning and car vent systems to recirculate instead of having outside air move inside.

No there is not triple digits forecast! When will the fake news and fear mongering news stop..
Um… wrong article… this one is about the smoke, not the temperature.
The cause of the increased frequency and intensity of our fires, tornados and hurricanes has been clearly identified by over 98 percent of those best trained to do do, yet so many continue to ignore science and bury their heads in the sand. As comedian Ron Wright said, “You can’t fix stupid.”
