California is renowned for its gorgeous weather, but summers can be scorching in some areas. Sacramento experiences an average of 11 days of temperatures above 99 degrees annually. During July, it holds the record of the sunniest place on the planet, with an average of 14 hours of sunlight per day. Remember that your eyes need protection from the sun, too. UV (ultraviolet light) protection in sunglasses can help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration caused by harmful UV rays.
