Hanford, California – Summer heat will grip Kings County on Tuesday, June 3rd, as Hanford climbs to a sweltering 94°F under cloudless skies. With no relief in sight, residents should limit outdoor activity between noon and 4 p.m., especially along Highway 198 and exposed roadways.
According to the National Weather Service, the Central Valley will remain locked in a hot, dry pattern through the end of the week. Tuesday’s high of 94°F follows Monday’s 93°F and signals the beginning of an early summer heat trend. Light winds from the northwest will offer little cooling, and clear overnight skies will keep lows in the low 60s — not enough to offset daily heat buildup.
By Friday, highs in Hanford could near 97°F. With local temperatures approaching triple digits by the weekend, residents should stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity during peak hours, and keep pets indoors. Agricultural workers and outdoor crews are advised to adjust schedules and use cooling breaks.
Travelers along Highway 198 and rural roads in Kings County should also be alert to heat-related vehicle strain. Tire blowouts and engine overheating can increase in extended high-heat periods.
No heat advisories are currently posted, but that may change if temperatures reach or exceed 100°F later in the week. Officials recommend checking cooling centers and reviewing heat illness symptoms.
