Sacramento residents, get ready for a week of beautiful, sunny weather with no rain in the forecast. This extended dry spell means unseasonably warm days and clear skies, though the cool nights will still remind us it’s winter.
What’s Happening This Week?
Expect daytime highs in the low to mid-60s all week—well above average for January. Nights, however, will be chilly, with temperatures dropping into the low 30s. Wednesday and Thursday will be sunny and mild, with highs around 64°F. Friday will bring similar conditions, though a bit cooler at 61°F. Over the weekend, you might wake up to some morning fog, but it will clear up by the afternoon, giving way to sunny skies and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
The Weekend Outlook
Saturday and Sunday will continue the sunny streak, with highs around 59°F to 60°F and lows dipping to the mid-30s. Morning fog could make driving a bit tricky, so it’s a good idea to leave extra time if you’re on the road early.
Why This Weather Matters
This dry stretch is unusual for this time of year and highlights the importance of water conservation. Even though we might see bright days ahead, water supplies in the region may suffer long-term consequences due to a lack of precipitation.
How to Make the Most of this Week
- Indulge in outdoor activities. You can go for a hike, a bike ride, or simply take a stroll around.
- Be Wary in Fog: For improved visibility, drive slowly and use your low beams if you’re out in the morning.
- Conserve Water: Making minor adjustments like taking shorter showers and shutting off the faucet while brushing your teeth can make a big difference.
- Make sure to keep an extra blanket in hand so that you are unaffected by the chilly evenings.
Gazing Ahead
The bright, temperate weather in Sacramento appears to be here to stay for the time being. Even if it’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy nature, keep in mind that winter can be erratic and that rain may return soon. Sacramento, make the most of this sunny spell.
