The National Weather Service has been alerting the San Joaquin Valley Region about certain heat risks for the next few days, advising people to drink water, wear life jackets, and other precautions preventing heat related emergencies.
Stockton and Modesto were included in the “high risk” category from midday Wednesday through Sunday evening, meaning heat like this is rare.
Today Modesto tied its heat record from 2012 at 103 degrees.
Stockton broke its heat record from 2017 from 105 degrees by one degree to 106 degrees.
As the heat continues, the National Weather Service advises to drink water all day and not wait until you are thirsty.
Correction (6/18): The National Weather Service added corrections to these temperatures and stated Stockton tied its record of 105 degrees from 2017.
