Triple digit temperatures returned on Sunday to the Valley… and like that least favorite neighbor of yours who invites themself to your BBQ, they’ll be sticking around for a while. There’s a chance we could finish the month of August with nothing but triple digit high temperatures.<\/p>\n
High temperatures on Saturday only reached the upper 90’s, but triple digits were back on Sunday. Merced and Madera both saw a high of 100, while Fresno and Hanford topped out at 101. And that’s just the beginning of this latest round of heat – we can expect high temperatures for the rest of this week between 100 and 105.<\/p>\n
Above: El Nino is coming. That’s not a guarantee of a wet winter, but other signals are now showing that make it look like we may see a soggy start to 2027.<\/p>\n
That won’t break any records – but it’s still hot. There’s a Heat Advisory in effect through Wednesday.<\/p>\n
We’ve already had 16 days of Triple Digit heat this month in Fresno. If we hit that for the last 8 days of August, we’ll end up at: 24. Which is Fresno’s record for most days of 100 heat in August. That’s definitely not a record we’d like to tie – but Mother Nature is in charge. It’ll be close this weekend and next Monday, as all three of those days will see highs near 100… although 99 is a possibility, too.<\/p>\n
Fingers crossed that September starts a little cooler. <\/p>\n
And don’t forget about the almost total Lunar Eclipse this Thursday evening! It starts pretty much right at Moonrise, which will be around 7:30 pm. It will peak at 9:13 pm, when the Moon will be 96% eclipsed by the shadow of the Earth… and it’ll end shortly before 11 pm. Meteor showers are difficult for us to see because of the light and air pollution, but a lunar eclipse will be easy to see. And it’s early in the evening, so you don’t have to stay up super late!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Triple digit temperatures returned on Sunday to the Valley… and like that least favorite neighbor of yours who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-445334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
