圣迭戈热浪打破当日纪录达105华氏度 市府延长纳凉点开放至晚8时

10月3日(周六),圣迭戈经历了这轮初秋热浪中最猛烈的一天。气象记录显示,圣迭戈当天最高气温达到105华氏度(约40.6摄氏度),比当地同期正常水平高出近19华氏度,不仅打破10月3日的历史当日纪录,也成为该市自1875年有气候记录以来第六高的气温;圣迭戈历史最高纪录是1963年9月26日的111华氏度。
面对从10月2日持续到10月8日的极端高温警告,圣迭戈市府把多家图书馆和娱乐中心作为纳凉点延长开放:10月2日和3日,所有列入名单的地点开放到晚上8时;部分指定地点10月4日周日也从中午12时开放到晚上8时。名单覆盖中央图书馆、City Heights/Weingart、Linda Vista、Mira Mesa、North Park、Pacific Beach/Taylor、Rancho Bernardo、San Ysidro 等数十个图书馆分馆,以及多个娱乐中心,服务犬可以入内。
市府提醒,极端高温每年造成的死亡人数超过其他任何天气灾害,居民应避免过度劳累、及时补水,绝不要把人或宠物留在车内,并主动关心儿童、孕妇、老人、户外工作者和有基础疾病的邻居。对于无家可归者,市府签约外展人员继续发放饮用水并告知纳凉地点。
这轮热浪并不限于圣迭戈:南加州多地在10月第一个周末刷新纪录,圣迭戈县 Vista 达到108华氏度,追平当地历史最高纪录。气象部门警告,高温还将向内陆和平原地区扩展,居民在警告解除前仍需把防暑当作日常安排的一部分。

San Diego Hits Record 105 Degrees as City Extends Cooling-Center Hours
San Diego sweltered through the fiercest day of an early-October heat wave on Saturday, October 3, reaching 105 degrees Fahrenheit — almost 19 degrees above average, a new record for the date and the sixth-highest temperature recorded in the city since records began in 1875. The city's all-time record remains 111 degrees, set on September 26, 1963.
With an extreme heat warning in effect from October 2 through October 8, the City of San Diego extended hours at libraries and recreation centers serving as cooling locations. On October 2 and 3 all listed locations stayed open until 8 p.m., and selected sites also opened on Sunday, October 4, from noon to 8 p.m. The list spans dozens of branch libraries and recreation centers across the city, with service animals allowed inside.
City officials urged residents to avoid overexertion, stay hydrated, never leave people or pets in vehicles, and check on neighbors at higher risk. Elsewhere in San Diego County, Vista reached 108 degrees, tying its hottest day on record, as records fell across Southern California during the first weekend of October.
