Tucson, Arizona – Arizona kicks off its first full week of June under a blazing sun as Tucson heads for a high near 96°F on Tuesday, June 3rd. The clear skies may look inviting, but rising temperatures and intensifying UV levels pose a growing safety concern—especially for outdoor workers and drivers along I-10.
According to the National Weather Service in Tucson, Tuesday will be sunny with west winds shifting northwest by afternoon. After a mild overnight low of 69°F, temperatures will spike by mid-afternoon. By Wednesday and Thursday, Tucson could reach 97°F, with little cloud cover and virtually no chance of rain.
The summer heat builds through the week. Friday and Saturday will be the hottest stretch yet, with highs of 101°F and 103°F respectively. Overnight lows will stay in the upper 60s to low 70s, offering minimal relief. Residents should hydrate frequently, avoid peak sun hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and check on pets and vulnerable neighbors.
This kind of early-season heat can trigger pavement expansion, vehicle overheating, and increased wildfire risk in dry brush areas. Those traveling through Pima County or commuting on I-10 should carry extra water and monitor car temperatures.
More heat advisories may be issued as the week progresses.
