As of 11:43 AM pacific Time it is presently 56 degrees here going for a high of 58 degrees today. For the ultimate contrast it is presently 102 degrees in Death Valley going for a high of 111 degrees today. Death Valley in the summer is usually the hottest place on earth. Part of the reason for this is that it is not only in the desert but up to 300 feet below sea level which is interesting too.
In Redding California one hour away from Mt. Shasta it is presently 85 degrees heading to 100 degrees today and Mt. Shasta is 77 degrees right now going to 87 degrees today. So, Mt. Shasta likely would be lovely today for example because you are at 3500 feet so it would be nice.
And Lake Tahoe is presently 63 degrees going to 73 degrees today which sounds like another nice place to be today:
Lake Tahoe is at 6000 feet so be sure you can handle that altitude before you go there.
My wife didn't listen to me one time we drove there and I told her: "There's smoke from a fire nearby in the air please don't unload the car into our hotel room." But, she didn't listen to me and spent the night in a hospital on oxygen from smoke inhalation. I had been through this kind of thing before a lot living in Mt. Shasta but she hadn't lived at altitude when there is smoke so didn't want to understand this.
But, smoke and altitude together puts a person in the hospital if they are not used to breathing a lot of smoke and not used to the altitude either. Something to think about this fire season especially in California and the western STates where fires happen a lot especially in the summers.
