Warming Trend Expected This Week Across California

A significant warming trend is forecast across various parts of California this week, with inland regions expected to experience summer-like temperatures. In Sacramento and Paso Robles, highs are projected to climb into the upper 80s and low 90s by Friday and Saturday, while northwest California areas such as Ukiah and Clearlake may see temperatures nearing 88°F as early as midweek. Overnight lows will remain mild, and the heat may persist through the weekend before cooling off by Sunday in some regions. The National Weather Service and local authorities are advising residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat, and monitor vulnerable individuals due to the risk of heat exhaustion. Coastal and some inland areas will also contend with gusty winds, prompting wind advisories in places like the Carquinez Strait, Delta, and East Bay Hills. Cooler temperatures are expected to return in some areas by the end of the weekend.
