The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has issued a second day of poor air for the Valley portions of Kern County due to smoky conditions from fires around the state.
The poor air is coupled with a 17th consecutive day of 100-degree temperatures in Bakersfield. The National Weather Service is forecasting triple-digit temperatures for Bakersfield through Monday, which would put Bakersfield at 23 consecutive days of 100-plus degree days. In a Tweet, the National Weather Service’s Hanford Station said it was looking at its historical data to determine records for most consecutive days of 100-degree temps in July.
