While the Great Plains and the Midwest swelter under upper 90s and triple digit heat, we here on the West Coast continue to enjoy cooler than average temperatures. Yesterday's high temp in Chico was only 80 degrees, and today's high was 82 degrees. To put that in perspective, we should be at 93 degrees this time of year. The below average weather will continue for the forseeable future, with daytime highs creeping into the upper 80s to low 90s by early next week. Still, it's below average, and we could be well into the 100s by this time of year. In fact, five years ago this week began a string of 100+ degree days in Chico- 11 in a row! The hottest temperature was reached on the 22nd of July, 2006, when the mercury climbed to 113 degrees! That is not an all time record for Chico- that occured on August 1, 1972, and the record high for that date (and all time) was 117 degrees. So again, we could be far hotter than we've been. I'm definitely enjoying this weather right now! Here's the seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
