HANFORD – Dawn breaks over the Central Valley with a soft gold glow spreading across the fields, a thin mist fading fast under a rising sun. Sunday morning begins calm and crisp, the kind of autumn stillness that settles in before the day turns bright and dry. With no rain in sight and temperatures climbing, Hanford is heading into one of its most stable weather stretches of the season.
According to the National Weather Service in Hanford, Sunday stays mostly sunny with highs near 72°F and a light northwest breeze. Mornings remain cool — near 50°F — but afternoons warm steadily through midweek. Monday and Tuesday will both bring sunshine and highs in the low to mid-70s, perfect for harvest work, outdoor markets, and early Halloween decorating.
Winds stay gentle at 5 to 10 mph, keeping air quality favorable across Kings and Tulare Counties. The calm pattern continues through Thursday, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures — ideal for evening walks, fall sports, or early Trick-or-Treat setups.
By Friday, models hint at a subtle temperature dip as a chilly November air mass begins edging toward Northern California. For now, though, it’s nothing but mild days and crisp, starry nights for the southern San Joaquin Valley.
Residents planning weekend travel can expect dry roads and excellent visibility across the I-5 and Highway 99 corridors — the kind of late-October weather that reminds Californians why fall here feels just right.
