How dry is it?

Sacramento plodded through its hottest year on record in 2014, with an average high temperature a full degree above the city's next-hottest year, according to a Bee analysis of records from the National Climatic Data Center.

Average temperatures have increased statewide and in Sacramento during the last 100 years, a trend that most scientists attribute to climate change.


I like the Bee. They still behave like a newspaper.
