Wilmington, Delaware – A run of sunny skies and mild August evenings is setting up Wilmington and northern Delaware for a picture-perfect weekend before another heat surge arrives. According to the National Weather Service, Wilmington will see highs in the low- to mid-80s through Sunday, with east winds keeping humidity in check and nights cooling comfortably into the 60s. Neighborhood parks, Riverfront events, and outdoor dining should see crowds as rain stays out of the picture.
Saturday and Sunday bring little change—expect abundant sunshine, light breezes, and ideal conditions for local festivals, back-to-school shopping, or one more trip to the beach. By Monday, temperatures begin their climb, reaching 90°F as a warmer air mass settles in. The hottest stretch arrives Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs pushing into the low- to mid-90s and overnight lows creeping up as well. Residents should plan hydration and heat safety if working or playing outdoors, especially as the workweek begins.
While no hazards are expected through the weekend, those sensitive to heat should prepare for hotter days starting Monday. Outdoor activities are best scheduled for mornings or evenings next week. Updates will follow if advisories are issued as temperatures rise, but for now, this summer window offers a last chance for family outings and local events under clear skies.
