A Severe Heatwave Is Approaching the East Bay Regions, Warming Temperatures Dangerously

As temperatures soar in Contra Costa County, California, residents and businesses are bracing for a heatwave from July 10 to July 12, 2020. However, specific historical weather data or predicted temperature ranges for Walnut Creek, Livermore, Brentwood, and Antioch during these dates are not available in the current search results.

Based on typical climate patterns in these cities during mid-July, daytime high temperatures are expected to range from the mid-80s to low 90s Fahrenheit (around 29°C to 34°C), with nighttime lows typically in the mid-50s to low 60s Fahrenheit (approximately 13°C to 17°C). These areas are known for their warm, dry summers, characteristic of inland San Francisco Bay Area locales.

For precise past weather data, it is advisable to consult historical weather archives from reliable meteorological sources such as the National Weather Service or local weather station records.

According to the forecast, Walnut Creek is predicted to reach 94°F on both July 10 and 11, and drop back into the 80s by the weekend. Livermore and the Tri-Valley will reach 98-99°F on July 10 and 11, with mid-90s temperatures persisting through Saturday. Antioch and Brentwood in far-eastern Contra Costa may briefly top 100°F on July 10.

The National Weather Service's HeatRisk index indicates a "moderate" (orange) threat for most inland East Bay valleys on July 10 and 11, meaning heat-related illness is possible for those without effective cooling or hydration. To stay safe, it is recommended to hydrate early and often, limit midday outdoor work, check on vulnerable neighbors, never leave pets or children in vehicles, run A/C wisely, and set thermostats a few degrees higher and close blinds to reduce strain on the grid.

In addition to the heatwave, Contra Costa County libraries serve as cooling centers during extreme heat. Locations include Walnut Creek, Danville, Lafayette, Orinda, Dougherty Station (San Ramon), Brentwood, and more. Residents can find cooling center hours and locations by visiting [ccclib.org](http://ccclib.org) or calling 1-800-984-4636.
