Indianapolis, IN – A prolonged heatwave is affecting central Indiana, with dry conditions and temperatures climbing near 90°F. Highs are expected to stay in the upper 80s through at least mid-week, with little to no chance of rain.
According to the National Weather Service, dry conditions will persist, and the next chance for rain may be over 10 days away. This ongoing heat could have an impact on local roadways, potentially causing hazardous driving conditions, as extended dry spells can lead to slick surfaces when moisture eventually returns.
Drivers are urged to take extra precautions, particularly in the mornings, when temperatures dip into the 50s and 60s, potentially leading to cooler but slick roads. The heatwave could also affect agriculture, as local farms may struggle without moisture.
With temperatures forecast to remain in the 80s for several more days, residents should prepare for extended heat and monitor potential drought conditions.
