High school football teams across the West Coast delayed games as triple-digit heat threatened player safety. Schools implemented new monitoring systems and protocols.

As the entire electric system is spinning at a certain rate, if there is a fault, something that is a resistance to that spinning, if you have a large mass like Diablo Canyon, that provides a great resistance to that change in frequency. That protects the greater system and makes it more reliable and resilient to a change.

The system’s length and strength will be compounded by some offshore winds, which will help keep any marine influence at bay and keep temperatures high, even overnight.

A dangerous heat wave has descended on much of California and the U.S. Southwest, with triple-digit temperatures expected along with a higher risk of wildfires.
