Ill keep an eye on that and well talk more about weather in a few minutes. Well check back with you. Thousands of San Jose City workers are promising to walk off the job in one week, while they fight for better pay. Some residents in need of services may be caught in the middle.

The two sides are far enough apart, the city of san jose, the unions, that 4,500 city workers say they will walk off the job next tuesday, wednesday and thursday. Today is the regular San Jose Council meeting, but they will also meet behind closed doors to talk about those wage negotiations. The south Bay Labor Council voted to sanction the strike last night hours after this rally at San Jose City hall. Workers from the airport, libraries, the planning department, the Water Treatment facility, animal shelters, Happy Hollow Park and zoo all joining in solidarity with engineers and emergency dispatchers outside San Jose City hall. The head of the Labor Council says the mayor is not doing enough to avert the strike, though the mayor says it comes down to higher wages or services for residents. You cannot generate revenue without a functioning planning department, you cannot keep libraries and parks open without employees, and you cannot keep people safe without sufficient emergency personnel. The numbers are what they are and now were at a point where were saying we can do a 5 raise, 3 additional parental leave, and if we go any further, were going to have to kind of cuts and those are not going to be popular. The union wants 7 , 6 , 5 raise over the next three years. The city is offering 5 , 4 , 3 , over the next three years. The negotiations also include paid family leave and retirement benefits. When the workers hit the picket lines, you will see some of them outside the San Jose City hall, the airport, the libraries and community centers, also the mlk library downtown. Many of them will also be at the Council Meeting tonight to just urge the council to do something to avert this strike. If you have business with the city, youre a resident, you need a permit or Something Like that, youre going to want to take care of that business before tuesday. You may also see workers picketing outside the San Jose Police department.

One reason a study finds the states Teacher Shortage getting worse. For the first time in seven years, schools ended with 16 fewer teachers. The struggles extend across the nation. Schools are finding it more difficult to hire teachers due to low pay, safety concerns, and the politics tied to certain curriculum. Now, one former english teacher tells today she made the difficult decision to walk away. I have 150 kids every year. Those are my kids. And it killed me to leave them. To leave them behind and to say, im sorry, i cannot be here for you next year. Last may alone, more than 50,000 teachers quit the profession nationally. As a result, insiders say more and more replacements are coming from outside typical teaching backgrounds with emergencystyle permits. New at 6 00, it is official, last month was earths hottest month on record. Meteorologist kari hall with how this month, i guess, all the different months are comparing. You know, scientists predicted this might happen, and before the month ended, because it was so hot, its now official, julys average temperature for the world was 62. 51 degrees fahrenheit. Thats about 2. 7 degrees warmer than the preindustrial times. And usually the difference is by part of a degree, so this is really a big deal. Scientists only started recording average Global Temperatures in the 1940s, but they do believe that julys temperature could be the warmest on record for thousands of years. So when it happened in may, we said it would happen again in june, and now its happened again in july. Climate change, were going to continue to set new records. And, unfortunately, theyre bigger margins that we had predicted. And its intense records, too. Look at the string of over 110 degrees in phoenix. Yes, and those overnight temperatures would be 100. So there really wasnt much recovery. Really tough for people there. Were seeing those effects from health effects. We saw earlier this morning, the story of the house collapsing into the river because of the melting glaciers. And the coral bleaching in florida. Were taking a look at the temperatures for the highs this afternoon. Its going to be another day where were dealing with a prolonged heat wave. The difference is theyre not getting many breaks. The good thing for us is we have the marine layer giving us some protection and thats going to start to roll back in this morning and help cool down our temperatures around the bay area. So San Francisco, were in the upper 50s, a breezy wind and that ocean breeze will keep temperatures mainly in the low to mid60s there for today. As you make your way inland, were seeing a drop in temperatures as a result of the return of that fog. In some spots it may be as big as 10 to 15 degrees lower than yesterday afternoon, as our high temperatures reach into the low 80s, livermore reaching 82. The warmer spot will be fairfield at 86. Were coming out of triple digits. As we get a look at whats happening on the roads this morning, it is a smooth flow of traffic across the bay bridge. It is just starting to slow down after they turned on the metering lights. Taking a look at 580, this has been the slow spot throughout the morning. Now the problem is the san mateo bridge is so slow that you may want to take an alternate route, maybe the dumbarton bridge, because right now it takes you 47 minutes to get across the san mateo bridge. So weve had a recent accident on there and it has really slowed it down. Thats really the only major problem spot. So if you can, we are seeing people rerouting, taking some of the other bridges. So it may slow on the way there, but you dont want to get stuck on that. We dont know how long this is going to last. Ill have another update in a few minutes. Thanks a lot, kari. 6 12 right now. Fewer flights into and out of sfo. Coming up, one of the bay areas Busiest AirlinesJust Announced plans to pull back on some of its service.

A look at the forecast coming up. New we have a sigalert for the san mateo bridge at the incline, lane two and three blocked by a crash. They do not know when it is going to open.

One of the interesting things to watch is going to be Airline Ticket prices. Im sure it doesnt feel like it, but airline prices are actually down quite a bit, 19 from this time last year. We saw record prices in the summer of 2022. In fact, airline prices are now cheaper than they were before the pandemic, this according to government price data which averages out the ticket price. I think thats why all of us are saying in our heads, hold on, it doesnt feel like airline prices are coming down. The basic rule ive seemed to come up with, airline prices are down, but where you want to fly it doesnt matter where that place is, thats the route. It never fails. Never fails. I dont know how that happens. Just where you want to go. Magic. Speaking of airports, a live look at sfo this morning where the airports second Busiest Airline now expects to cut flights.

One food blogger is speculating that dunkin will release theirs next month. The original creator of starbuckss Pumpkin Spice latte. Each year weve been pretty consistent in terms of our timing on when we bring back the Pumpkin Spice latte. It might be a little in our head and maybe people want to hold on to summer a little longer. Theyre not quite ready for fall. But fall is coming. When nbc news asked starbucks about the release date, the chain said we are not quite ready to welcome fall yet. How about some iced tea instead . We know one girl that is completely you are ready for fall, i guess. Pumpkin spice iced latte, so good, you know . Summertime.
