Indianapolis, Indiana – A warm and sunny weekend is on tap for Indiana, but it’s the early summer heat arriving next week that could catch drivers and outdoor workers off guard.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, skies will clear early Saturday, May 31, with afternoon highs near 74°F and gusts reaching 20 mph along major roadways like I-70 and I-65. Saturday marks the start of a dry, sunny pattern lasting through Monday — but residents should plan now for rising heat and potential midweek storms.
On Sunday, June 1, temperatures will climb to 77°F under mostly clear skies. By Monday, June 2, the high will push to 85°F with calm winds turning southwesterly. Tuesday, June 3 brings peak warmth with sunny skies and a high of 88°F. Humidity will also increase, making conditions feel closer to the low 90s. Sensitive groups should limit prolonged exposure outdoors, especially during afternoon hours.
Though much of the weekend and early week will remain dry, the pattern shifts midweek. A 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms returns by Wednesday, June 4. The unsettled stretch continues into Thursday, June 5, with another round of possible rain and highs in the low 80s.
Canadian wildfire smoke may reduce air quality early next week, especially during calm wind periods. Anyone with respiratory concerns should monitor local AQI levels.
Warnings remain unlikely through Monday, but a midweek weather alert is possible as storm chances increase. Stay tuned for updates.
