To help the populace cope with this second day of extraordinary heat, the city has opened four "cooling centers" for the elderly and those most affected by the heat. Also, public pools are all open and free to use today.
“With extreme temperatures in San Francisco expected to continue today, I am urging local residents to take special precautions in an effort to remain safe and healthy," said Mayor Ed Lee in a release.
100-degree temperatures are again expected Saturday after San Francisco recorded its hottest day ever on Friday, with a high of 106.
