Tampa, FL – As spring settles in across Florida, Tampa is preparing for a significant temperature jump starting Sunday. The National Weather Service forecasts that highs will soar to 90°F, with sunny skies expected to persist throughout the weekend and into next week. With such high temperatures on the horizon, locals and visitors alike should be prepared for heat, especially during Easter weekend.
Starting Sunday, April 21, the weather will be clear and sunny, perfect for outdoor activities, but the intense heat could pose risks for heat-related illnesses. Travelers, particularly those on local roads such as I-275, should stay hydrated and take precautions during peak heat hours. Winds from the southeast at 6 to 10 mph will help keep the air from feeling stagnant but won’t provide much relief from the heat.
By Monday, temperatures will remain at 91°F, with partly sunny skies dominating the day. Nighttime lows will hover around 68°F, providing some relief as the heat breaks at night. However, Tuesday will bring another sunny and warm day, with highs near 90°F and winds shifting slightly to the west.
As we head into the week, expect clear skies and dry conditions to continue until Wednesday. Monday through Wednesday’s high temperatures will make this week a prime example of Florida’s spring heat. Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or out on the road, remember to protect yourself from the sun and drink plenty of water.
