Summer heatwave settles in for extended stay

Roseville, Calif. – Roseville is no stranger to summer heatwaves as local residents settle in for another summer scorcher with temps topping 110 degrees this week. While many resident flee to cooler locales to escape the summer heat, those in town head to air conditioned spaces and water-based recreation.
