| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong high pressure over the Western United States coupled with subtropical moisture flowing northwestward into Central California produced near-record high temperatures, record high minimum temperatures, and Heat Index readings above 105F from the 9th through the 15th of the month. Humidities were elevated while temperatures reached over 100F in locations throughout the Central and Southern San Joaquin Valley during this period. As an example on one of the hottest days, the 11th, the highest temperatures included 108F at Lemoore, Bakersfield, and Taft, 109F at Fresno and Arvin, 110F at Delano, and 111F at Wasco. In other areas of California, Southern Oregon, and Nevada numerous high and low temperature records were set during this time period. |
