After a brief break, the summer heat is back in Sacramento, California, with temperatures rising again over the next few days. If you’ve been enjoying cooler weather lately, be prepared for a warm comeback as daytime highs reach up to 93°F by Monday.
Hot Days Ahead for Sacramento
According to the National Weather Service, cloud cover will slowly clear by midday on Saturday, leading to sunny skies and a high near 82°F. The real heat will begin to build from Sunday onwards, thanks to a high-pressure system settling over the region.
This weather pattern is pushing temperatures into the upper 80s and low 90s, making it feel like classic California summer once again.
Cities across Sacramento County, including Elk Grove, Roseville, and Carmichael, will see sunny days with only light south-southwest breezes, offering limited relief from the increasing warmth.
What You Should Know and Do
Although there is no heat advisory in effect yet, residents are being urged to stay cautious, especially if you’re working outside or part of a vulnerable group.
Here are some important tips:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Avoid outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours (usually 12 PM to 5 PM)
Check on elderly family members, children, and pets
Keep electronics charged and reduce energy usage where possible
Since energy demand is likely to go up with the heat, conserving electricity can help avoid unnecessary strain on power systems.
How Long Will This Heat Last?
The hot weather is expected to stay through at least Wednesday, with daytime highs continuing in the upper 80s to low 90s. This is a noticeable change from last week’s milder and cloudier weather.
While no extreme heat warnings have been issued, the National Weather Service will give updated forecasts on Monday, so it’s wise to stay alert, especially as August begins, when heat waves are more common.
