Hanford, Calif. – Central Valley residents should prepare for a stretch of dangerously hot days, with temperatures in Hanford expected to hit 102°F by Saturday and remain above 95°F through the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Hanford, the region will see daily highs climbing from 89°F Monday to 99°F Thursday and topping 100°F by the weekend. Overnight lows will offer little relief, staying in the mid-60s. A moderate to high heat risk will build through Friday, particularly for vulnerable groups without access to cooling or hydration.
Cities across Kings County—including Lemoore, Armona, and Corcoran—will face increasing heat stress, especially during the afternoon hours. With winds calm or light from the northwest, little ventilation is expected. Residents should limit outdoor activities, check on elderly neighbors, and avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles.
This prolonged heat event mirrors early summer surges seen in previous years, with heat advisories likely if current trends continue. Cooling centers may open later this week, and schools or outdoor programs may alter schedules due to health concerns.
Temperatures are forecast to peak Saturday and Sunday, with no significant cooling expected before early next week.
