Triple digits return after record-setting summer in Central California

Triple-digit heat returned across Central California on Tuesday.

“That is frustrating, because you’re expecting cooler weather and then it gets hotter again,”

Fresno resident Alyssa Reeves reacting to the roller coaster temperatures here in the Central Valley.

“I was upset cause i pulled out my sweaters last week cause it was cooler and then now it’s getting hotter again and now I have to put them away,”

According to ABC News, this summer was the hottest on record for dozens of cities across the United States.

Action News AM Live Meteorologist Christine Gregory says Fresno is among those cities shattering heat records this year, with more than 50 days of triple digit heat.

“We had a record-breaking July. It was the hottest July on record, so I think that’s already set this tone that it’s been a very hot summer and we’re starting to see some of that summer weather bleed into what is now the first week of fall,” said Gregory.

Gregory says you shouldn’t put away your summer clothes just yet, especially if you expect to be outside often.
