Salt Lake City, UT – Utah is set to experience dangerous heat starting Monday, with temperatures challenging daily record highs and warm lows through Tuesday. The National Weather Service has issued a heat warning for the Wasatch Front and St. George, expecting daytime temperatures between 100-104°F in the Wasatch Front/West Desert and 105-111°F in Glen Canyon NRA/Zion NP/St. George.
According to the National Weather Service, the combination of extreme heat and inadequate overnight cooling poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Poor overnight temperature recovery, especially in urban areas like the Wasatch Front and around St. George, will further exacerbate heat stress for those without adequate access to air conditioning.
Residents are urged to take precautions against heat illness. Hydration, frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas, wearing light clothing, and shifting outdoor activities away from the peak heat hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. are recommended. Local authorities emphasize the importance of staying informed about the latest weather updates and heat advisories.
