Baltimore, Maryland – A wave of extreme heat is setting up across Baltimore and much of Maryland through early next week, pushing temperatures into the mid and upper 90s by Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents can expect a rapid jump in heat beginning Sunday, with 91°F and humidity making outdoor activities risky during the hottest parts of the day.
According to the National Weather Service, highs Saturday will reach 88°F, then surge to 91°F Sunday and climb steadily to 96°F by Tuesday. Overnight lows will offer little relief, staying well above 70°F through the stretch. The extended hot, sunny spell means pavement temperatures and indoor spaces without AC will rise quickly, creating potential health hazards for children, the elderly, and anyone working outside. Roads like I-95 and local playgrounds could become dangerously hot by afternoon.
Local officials urge everyone to stay hydrated, limit outdoor work to morning or evening, and check on neighbors without reliable cooling. With clear skies, Baltimore’s parks and outdoor dining are still in play, but take breaks in shade and watch for signs of heat illness.
This streak of hot, mostly sunny days is expected to last through midweek, with another spike possible on Wednesday. The National Weather Service may issue additional advisories as the pattern continues—updates will follow if the threat grows.
