It felt like an early summer Monday as San Francisco basked in record-breaking heat for the second straight day.

The high temperature in San Francisco was 90 degrees, breaking the record of 89 set on April 29, 1981, National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Benjamin said.

No other records were broken in the Bay Area, although the temperature reached 91 degrees in San Jose, 89 in Fremont and Concord, 88 in Redwood City and 86 in Santa Rosa. The highest recorded temperature in Northern California was in Gilroy, where it was 97.

An intense high-pressure system is responsible for the warm weather, which was expected to continue today. A gradual cooling trend will begin Wednesday, with seasonal temperatures in place by the weekend, Benjamin said.

The normal high in San Francisco this time of year is 63.
