Dry and Sunny Saturday Kicks Off Summer, Heat Wave on the Horizon

After weeks of unpredictable weather, residents can finally enjoy a dry and sunny Saturday, marking the official start of summer. Temperatures are expected to be pleasant, with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s inland. Coastal areas will experience slightly cooler temperatures, hovering in the upper 70s to low 80s, thanks to localized sea breezes. Humidity levels will remain relatively low, making for a comfortable day overall.

However, this pleasant weather is short-lived. Sunday brings a chance of isolated morning storms, with the highest likelihood of activity around mid-morning. The afternoon is expected to clear up, leading to a significant rise in temperatures. Highs will climb to near 90 to the low 90s, with the warmth extending to the coast due to a breeze. The Cape and Islands will experience highs in the 70s and 80s.

The real shift comes with the start of a heat wave. The most intense heat and humidity are predicted for Monday and Tuesday. Heat indices, which reflect how the temperature feels to the body, are forecast to reach 100-105. This combination of high heat and humidity poses an elevated risk of heat-related illnesses. Residents are strongly advised to stay hydrated during this period.

BNN's Perspective: While the initial dry and sunny conditions are welcome, the impending heat wave serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness. It's crucial for individuals, especially the vulnerable, to take necessary precautions to avoid heatstroke and other heat-related health issues. Staying informed about weather updates and adhering to safety guidelines will be essential in navigating the coming days.
