The high temperature today in Chico was 92 degrees. The air was moderated thanks to southeast winds blowing up to 15 mph. These winds helped to carry cooler marine air from the Sacramento River Delta, which feeds into the Pacific Ocean. The southerly flow should intensify tomorrow through the middle of next week, and the high temps in Chico will respond. Forecast highs by Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the lower to mid 80s! That's nearly 10 degrees below normal. I call this Mother Nature's air conditioning. I'm glad Chico is located where it is, fairly close to the Delta. The further north you go in the Sacramento Valley, the less the Delta breeze's effects have on the hot temperatures. Sacramento really lucks out, as it is only about 30-40 miles from the Delta. Sactown's forecast highs for early next week will be around 80 degrees! That is very nice for this time of year in this part of the country. Enjoy, for the triple digit heat will return soon enough!
