Cleveland, OH – Northern Ohio is experiencing unusually warm weather this week, with temperatures soaring well above normal fall averages. Despite the official arrival of fall, Cleveland will see temperatures remain in the upper 70s and low 80s. The National Weather Service forecasts highs nearing 83°F through the weekend.
According to the US National Weather Service Cleveland, high pressure is responsible for the extended heatwave, keeping the cooler fall air at bay. Clear skies and abundant sunshine will dominate the region, with overnight lows staying in the 60s, a far cry from typical fall nights.
The unseasonable heat comes as leaves begin to change in many areas, adding a summer-like atmosphere to the start of autumn. Residents can expect sunny skies and continued warmth through Sunday, with little relief until next week. Those spending time outdoors should stay hydrated and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Temperatures are expected to dip into the upper 70s by next Monday. However, cooler, more seasonal fall conditions are not forecasted to arrive until the middle of next week.
