Tallahassee, Florida – Florida’s capital is turning up the heat this weekend as dangerous temperatures near 100°F grip the region through Saturday afternoon. With patchy fog early Friday and heat index values climbing into triple digits, residents across Tallahassee and Leon County should take precautions to stay safe.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Friday’s high of 95°F will feel even hotter due to increased humidity.

Saturday brings more of the same, with highs near 96°F and a heat index up to 100°F expected again.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor exposure, and check on vulnerable neighbors and pets. Tallahassee Fire Rescue also reminds the public that dry, hot conditions raise fire danger, especially in grassy and wooded areas.
