Providence, RI – Rhode Island residents can expect a bright, comfortable Sunday before temperatures spike into the 90s early next week. Sunny skies and calm winds will make for a pleasant day, with highs near 88°F, creating an ideal window for outdoor dining, beach trips, or summer events before the heat builds.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, a stretch of hot, mostly clear weather will follow, with highs near 90°F Monday and 91°F Tuesday. The heat index could push conditions into the mid-90s inland, with little relief from humidity. Winds remain light, meaning the warmth will linger well into the evenings, especially in urban areas like Providence and Warwick.
The combination of prolonged heat and clear skies will dry out ground surfaces, increasing watering needs for gardens and lawns. Those planning outdoor activities Monday through Wednesday should stay hydrated and limit strenuous work during peak afternoon heat.
This hot, dry stretch is expected to last through at least Wednesday, with the next significant weather shift unlikely until late in the week.
