Sacramento, CA – Moderate heat risk is expected to return to parts of Northern California this week, with conditions impacting residents in the Valley, Delta, and foothills mainly south of Interstate 80 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service Sacramento, the heat risk level will be moderate September 16–17, meaning individuals sensitive to heat may face health challenges without proper precautions. This includes those without effective cooling options or adequate hydration.
The advisory highlights the importance of staying in a cool location during the hottest part of the day. Residents are urged to drink plenty of water, limit outdoor activities, and keep an eye on vulnerable groups such as children, older adults, and pets.
The risk area covers major population centers including Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Yuba City, and surrounding foothill communities. Weather officials say while temperatures will not reach extreme levels, the sustained warmth can still pose significant dangers, especially for people spending extended time outdoors.
Travelers passing through the Central Valley and nearby foothills should also plan ahead for the heat. The NWS recommends checking local forecasts at weather.gov for updated information throughout the week.
This moderate heat risk follows recent cooler patterns in the region, marking a shift to warmer, drier weather conditions.
