Medford, Oregon – Daytime highs across southern Oregon and northern California will surge 5 to 10 degrees above normal this week, with some valleys and the Klamath Basin climbing into the mid- to upper-90s daily. Residents from Medford to Roseburg should prepare for a stretch of unusually warm July weather lasting through Sunday, July 13.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, stable atmospheric conditions will keep temperatures elevated across the region, with the warmest days likely midweek. No official heat advisories are posted, but the weather service urges those sensitive to heat—especially seniors, young children, and people without air conditioning—to use extra caution.
Cities including Medford, Yreka, Klamath Falls, and Roseburg are all expected to see highs in the 90s. Areas in the west side valleys and low elevations, such as Cave Junction and Lakeview, will feel the most pronounced heat. Brookings may be slightly cooler but will still trend above average for July.
Travelers, outdoor workers, and anyone planning to be outside for extended periods should stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during the afternoon, and check on vulnerable neighbors. This stretch marks one of the warmest weeks of the summer so far, especially for those unaccustomed to high temperatures.
Temperatures are expected to stay elevated through Sunday, with only modest relief in sight. More updates will follow if advisories or warnings are needed.
