Tampa, FL – Florida’s spring heat is intensifying across Tampa, with dry, sunny conditions pushing daytime highs steadily toward 90°F by the weekend. Residents should prepare for elevated temperatures beginning Wednesday and persisting into Saturday—just as outdoor activities pick up ahead of the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will bring sunny skies and a high of 84°F with light north winds around 7 mph. Thursday’s temperatures will surge again to 88°F under continued sun and minimal breeze. By Friday and Saturday, Tampa is expected to reach peak spring heat at 90°F and 91°F, respectively.
