It truly was a gorgeous last weekend of June, with much of the Central Valley experiencing well below average high temperatures and even a few passing clouds. Across many of the Central Valley’s major cities, high temperatures on Saturday were generally recorded at between 10 and 13 degrees below average for this time of year.
And here’s some news to carry you through the week: It doesn’t stop now.
That’s because the trough of low-pressure air in the upper atmosphere that brought us cooler temps will be sticking around through at least the start of July, with a potential for more of these mild temps to stick around just a bit longer.
So what does that mean for your plans as we are looking through the week and towards the July 4 weekend? Well easy to say, the weather won’t be unbearably hot during this entire stretch. Sure, 88 to 92 can feel hot with the mid-afternoon sun, and it is always important to hydrate, but no day this week or weekend will be a true burden to your outdoors and holiday plans across the Central Valley.
This Monday will actually be the warmest day this work week for much of the Sacramento Valley, with high temps in the upper 80s and low 90s. The Delta breeze will be relatively weak this afternoon, so don’t be surprised if some spots, especially in downtown Sacramento, reach into the 90s Monday…
