Sacramento is looking at a five-day stretch with highs in the triple digits, including a forecast 110 degrees Saturday. Redding is likely to hit 113 degrees Friday, 115 on Saturday and 113 on Sunday. Highs Monday may be a slightly less inhospitable 110 degrees. The city has never recorded more than three consecutive days at 113 degrees or greater.

Modesto, Calif., will see highs around 108 degrees both weekend days.

In my lifetime, not only is this weather not unusual for these areas, but it was the norm for most of that period.

You bet, places like Redding, Modesto, Sacramento etc, can cook in the summer.
