No 110-degree days but Redding's hot summer was record-setter
It was the hottest summer on record in the United States. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said average temperatures for June-August in 2026 were the hottest for the contiguous United States in the 132 years records have been kept.

Weekend Forecast: Simmering end to summer
REDDING, Calif. — Summer officially ends on Tuesday at 5:05 p.m. Pacific Time, so we’re staring down our final weekend of the season! What does it have in store?. Well, if you read the headline, you probably already have a good idea. Now two days removed from our stormy setup, temperatures continue their climb on Saturday and push above normal for the first time in over a week. This’ll come in the form of low to mid 90s throughout the valley, and mainly 80s across the higher elevations. Skies look quite clear away from the immediate coastline, where the marine layer should remain stubborn all the way into the new week. Light north breezes like we saw on Friday should continue through the afternoon.
