The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory that includes the Los Gatos area on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. through Friday, June 12, at 7:00 p.m.
The best way to beat the heat is to stay in an air-conditioned space. If you don’t have an air conditioner at home, you can visit cooling centers. The Los Gatos Library serves as a cooling center 7 days a week from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Remember to drink water often – even if you don’t feel thirsty. If you are outside sweating for many hours, consider drinking an electrolyte-replacement beverage. Avoid sugary drinks, drinks with caffeine, and alcohol because they can dehydrate you.
Some people face a greater risk of heat-related illness than others. Those at greatest risk for heat-related illness include:
• Infants and young children
• People over 65 years of age or older
• People living with disabilities and chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular disease
• Unhoused community members
• Outdoor workers or indoor workers without air conditioning
• Pregnant people
• Low-income with inadequate home cooling
Symptoms of heat-related illness include rash, dizziness, nausea, rapid breathing and heart rate, muscle spasms, and fatigue. If someone has a high body temperature (103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), is confused, has a fast pulse, or has a life-threatening heat reaction, call 911.
