Salt Lake City, Utah – Sunshine and soaring temperatures are locking Salt Lake City into a summer heatwave, with Monday expected to hit a blistering 97°F—the hottest day of the week. Low humidity and clear skies will amplify the heat, keeping overnight temps uncomfortably warm in the upper 60s.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Saturday starts the upward climb with a high of 91°F and calm winds shifting from southeast to northwest. Sunday continues the warming trend at 93°F, before temperatures spike Monday. Sunny skies and dry air will dominate through at least Thursday, pushing highs into the mid to upper 90s across the Wasatch Front and northern Utah valleys.
The relentless sun combined with warm nights raises risks for heat-related illness, particularly for outdoor workers, children, and the elderly. Officials recommend limiting outdoor activity during peak heat hours, staying hydrated, and checking on vulnerable neighbors.
Although no official heat advisory is posted yet, continued warming may prompt alerts early next week.
