Heat is the governing season: about 106 days a year reach 90°F and 41 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 34 inches, with 9 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,576 heating and 2,032 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3

The coast is about 94 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Redding sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).6 Building permits in Redding are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
