Atlanta, Georgia – Summer heat ramps up across Georgia on Tuesday, June 3rd, with temperatures in Atlanta soaring to 87°F and winds gusting up to 15 mph. Motorists along I-285 and I-75 should be alert as hazy skies could limit visibility due to smoke drifting from Canadian wildfires.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday’s breezy conditions begin around mid-morning, with winds from the south shifting east at 10 mph and gusts topping 15 mph through the afternoon. The heat, combined with reduced air quality and haze, could affect vulnerable groups, including children and those with respiratory issues.
Hazy skies may linger into Tuesday evening, although conditions are expected to remain mostly clear. Air quality alerts are possible depending on wind direction and smoke movement. Residents should limit outdoor activity if haze thickens and keep windows closed overnight.
