Hanford, CA – The San Joaquin Valley wakes to calm, misty air this Sunday morning as another stretch of warm, sunny fall weather sets in. After a few days of cooler breezes, conditions are turning ideal for outdoor work, harvest hauling, and early Halloween decorating.
According to the National Weather Service in Hanford, light morning haze will lift quickly today, giving way to sunny skies and highs near 80°F. Winds remain calm, offering nearly perfect travel conditions along Highway 198 and Route 41. For those heading to church, early markets, or local fields, visibility may be briefly reduced before 9 a.m., but no rain is expected.
The mild pattern continues through Tuesday, with highs in the upper 70s and lows dipping into the low 50s. Skies stay mostly clear through midweek, although patchy fog could redevelop in rural lowlands late Monday and early Tuesday. Farmers should keep an eye on field humidity levels, as light winds could trap moisture near crops before sunrise.
By Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures ease slightly into the low 70s with partly sunny skies. No major weather systems are expected through the weekend, giving residents one more full week of stable fall conditions before a possible pattern change next weekend.
For now, Central California enjoys the best of October — warm afternoons, cool nights, and a calm pause before the winter shift begins.
