That's what a lot of people would like to know, I'm sure. I predict Chico will not have a blazingly hot summer, as is typical. Because of the Iceland volcano, expect temperatures to average about five to ten degrees cooler than what we typically see during the summer. Instead of highs in the mid 90s to around 105 degrees, we'll see temps in the upper 80s to mid 90s. Oh, we'll experience some heat waves with temps around 100 degrees, but only for a few days at a time. Some summers Chico has temps well above 100 degrees for over a week or more. I don't expect that this summer. For today, accept and embrace the gloomy weather as clouds and showers stick around (yesterday was also cloudy and somewhat wet- Chico received .01" of rain). Temperatures will be ten degrees cooler than average. It'll dry out and warm up over the weekend, though, with sunny skies and highs into the 80s. It'll warm up even more by early next week, but instead of the mid 90s as previously forecast, expect only upper 80s to around 90 degrees. That's more in line with where we should be this time of year. Here's the Chico forecast from the National Weather Service:
Today: Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 74. South southeast wind between 8 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
