High temperatures in the capital region are expected to soar above 100 degrees for at least a week, with a high of 111 degrees forecast for Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The city recommends that people fend off the summer heat by jumping in the water.
“With the warmer temperatures, we want people to be aware of and take advantage of the several community resources available, including pools, spray parks and community centers ,” said Gabby Miller, the media and communications specialist from the city of Sacramento.
