Wilmington, Delaware – Sunshine and summer warmth surge back into Delaware on Tuesday, June 3rd, with highs climbing into the low 80s and clear skies across the state. While the weather may look ideal, hazy skies from distant Canadian wildfires could reduce visibility and affect sensitive groups by the afternoon.

Light smoke from northern wildfires may drift into the region, prompting possible air quality alerts. Those with respiratory conditions should limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours.
