Weaverville, CA – Residents in Northern Trinity should prepare for a dangerous surge of heat Sunday as temperatures are expected to soar to 112°F in the valleys, with overnight lows hovering around 70. According to the National Weather Service, a heat advisory is set from 9 a.m. Sunday through 1 a.m. Monday, affecting communities including Del Loma, Big Bar, Douglas City, Carrville, and Weaverville. Major heat risk will impact outdoor activities, with a heightened chance of heat-related illnesses—especially for those without reliable cooling.
Officials urge everyone to drink plenty of water, stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces if possible, and avoid strenuous activities during the peak of the heat. Neighbors and relatives should be checked on, especially seniors and those without access to cooling. Local hospitals and emergency crews are preparing for increased calls as heat indexes rise, and schools or businesses without adequate cooling could adjust hours or operations.
Anyone traveling across Trinity County should plan for the hottest part of the day and never leave people or pets in vehicles. Conditions may change rapidly, and updated advisories could be issued if heat lingers into early next week.
