heat wave is broken

Today's high temperature at the Chico Airport was 93 degrees. This breaks the consecutive days of high temps of 95 or above at six. Looking ahead, temps will continue to cool down as the Delta breeze picks up. By Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, look for highs only in the mid 80s. Nice! Normals for mid July are 94 for the high and 62 for the low. Don't forget, Slice of Chico is tomorrow in downtown Chico. It begins at 9 am. Slice of Chico is an annual event in which downtown merchants have a sort of sidewalk sale where shoppers can peruse good bargains and munch on slices of watermelon (hence, Slice of Chico).
