Currently the temperature is 83 degrees in Chico at just after 10 am. It's not anticipated to be quite as hot the next few days as previously forecast, but still expect triple digit heat for tomorrow. Today and Monday call for highs in the upper 90s. These forecast highs are about ten degrees above average. If outdoors, drink plenty of water and seek shade as much as you are able. Again, DO NOT seek relief in a creek or stream as the water temperature is only in the 50s. The current in some streams is still running fast due to recent mountain snowmelt, so that is another deterrent in jumping into the water for some quick relief. By Tuesday of next week, temps should be closer to normal, and Wednesday looks almost chilly in comparison to tomorrow's expected highs. Here are the details for Chico from the National Weather Service:
Today: Sunny and hot, with a high near 98. Northwest wind between 6 and 8 mph.
