Reno, NV – Sunshine will dominate Sunday across Reno with afternoon highs near 96°F, giving residents one last mild day before temperatures climb toward the upper 90s early next week. Skies stay mostly clear through the evening, keeping nighttime lows comfortable in the mid-60s.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, Monday’s highs could reach 98°F under clear skies, with heat holding through Tuesday. Winds will remain light, limiting any cooling relief. While this stretch is typical for August, prolonged hot afternoons could impact outdoor workers, hikers, and anyone attending local events without shade.
Residents planning outdoor activities should take advantage of Sunday’s slightly cooler conditions. Hydration and sun protection will be essential Monday and Tuesday when heat reaches its peak. Clear skies will also make for pleasant evenings, but overnight lows in the mid-60s mean homes without air conditioning may stay warm.
This hot spell is expected to ease slightly by midweek, with temperatures dipping into the low 90s Wednesday. Still, forecasters urge keeping an eye on daily updates in case heat advisories are issued.
