What Makes Redding, California Different

Redding sits at the north end of the Sacramento Valley with mountains on three sides. Summers are among the hottest in California, and wildfire is the biggest risk. In July 2018, the Carr Fire burned into neighborhoods on the west side of Redding and destroyed many homes. Have a plan to leave early when fire weather is forecast.

Smoke from fires near and far can settle in the valley for days. Smoke leaves soot and odor in fabrics, carpet, attics and ducts, and soot can stain surfaces if it sits. Keep windows shut on bad air days, run a HEPA air cleaner and change the air filter when the smoke clears. For heavy smoke or soot, a fire and smoke specialist can clean ducts and treat odor properly.

Winters are mild but wet, and strong storms can bring heavy rain, falling trees and power outages. Air conditioners run hard all summer, so a clogged condensate line or a rusted drain pan can drip into a ceiling. Check the drain pan and the float switch every spring.
