Salt Lake City, Utah – Salt Lake City will sizzle again Friday, July 25th, as summer heat returns with highs near 94°F and rising into early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s sunshine and dry conditions will push temperatures back into the mid-90s across northern Utah, with minimal cloud cover offering little relief. Winds will shift southwest at 7 mph before turning east by evening, contributing to warm, stagnant air across the Salt Lake Valley.
Drivers on I-15 and I-80 should plan for heat-glare conditions during peak commuting hours and keep water and sun protection in vehicles. Those with outdoor plans should avoid mid-afternoon exposure and reschedule strenuous activity to morning or evening hours.
Friday night will bring partly cloudy skies with a low near 69°F before temperatures rise again Saturday. Expect highs of 93°F Saturday and 94°F Sunday under mostly sunny skies. The real surge arrives Monday, when Salt Lake City may hit 97°F — the hottest of the stretch.
Air conditioners will get heavy use, so residents are urged to limit electricity usage during peak hours and check on vulnerable neighbors. Stay hydrated, keep pets cool, and never leave children or animals in parked cars.
