Salt Lake City, Utah – Salt Lake City residents should brace for a sharp rise in heat as temperatures approach 95°F by Thursday afternoon, with even hotter conditions expected through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday will be sunny with a high near 94°F. Winds will stay light, shifting southwest in the afternoon. By Friday, highs will peak near 95°F, and Monday may top out at 98°F. With no rain or cloud cover in sight, the extended hot, dry spell poses increased risks for dehydration, heat illness, and road glare—especially on major travel routes like I-15 and I-80.
City workers and outdoor laborers are encouraged to limit afternoon activity and hydrate frequently. Drivers should use sunshades and avoid storing electronics in vehicles. The heat builds gradually each day, with Thursday and Friday marking the start of a weekend-long pattern of intense sun and mid-to-upper 90s temperatures.
By Saturday and Sunday, Salt Lake City stays under clear skies with lows only dipping into the mid-60s. This early-summer pattern is typical for late June in Utah’s capital but will feel hotter than average due to calm wind conditions and high sun angles.
The heat will likely persist through at least Monday, June 30. No precipitation is expected during this period, and no watches or warnings are in effect as of now, though excessive heat advisories could be issued if temperatures climb further.
