In June, be ready for almost anything

Have you done your watering today? Highs this weekend are expected to reach 98 degrees, maybe 100. If not, wait til it starts to cool down this evening -- or go out early Sunday.

 Pay special attention to your container plants, which might need a drink both days, depending on the size of the plant and the pot. Oh, and don't forget to wear sunscreen!

What's typical for Sacramento weather in June? It can skyrocket to triple digits or plummet at night to the low 40s. But usually it's pretty dry.

Monthly avg. temperature (high/low): 87 degrees/56 degrees
