Sacramento, CA – A significant warm-up begins this week, pushing temperatures toward the triple-digit mark by Wednesday. Residents will see mostly sunny skies starting Monday, but the tranquil weather will give way to the first notable heat of the season. Commuters should prepare for increasingly hot conditions throughout the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will climb steadily after a pleasant start. Monday’s high is expected to reach 86 degrees, followed by a jump to 93 degrees on Tuesday. The heat will intensify by midweek, with Wednesday bringing sunny and hot conditions with a high near 98 degrees. Residents should take precautions against heat-related illness. Plan to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening hours, and never leave children or pets in unattended vehicles.
The prolonged period of heat will affect travel and daily routines across the Sacramento Valley. Drivers along major corridors like Interstate 5, U.S. Route 50, and Highway 99 can expect hot pavement and should ensure their vehicles are prepared for the high temperatures. The clear and sunny skies will continue into the latter part of the week.
Those with plans for Juneteenth on Thursday should prepare for a warm holiday, as the high is anticipated to be around 95 degrees under sunny skies. The heat is expected to linger through the end of the week, with clear conditions and highs in the mid-90s persisting into the weekend. No immediate relief from the heat is in sight.
