Burlington, VT – Vermont gets a break from rain on Sunday, but the calm won’t last long. Dangerous heat returns Monday, with Burlington seeing highs near 91°F and heat indices climbing to 95°F. This summer weather alert has serious implications for outdoor workers, travelers, and anyone without access to cooling.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, scattered showers and breezy conditions taper off by early Sunday morning. Expect mostly sunny skies by midday, with a comfortable high around 82°F. But by Monday, southern winds will push hot, humid air back into the region, spiking health risks across Chittenden and Addison counties.
Limit time outdoors Monday afternoon, especially from 1 to 5 p.m., when heat stress will be highest. Drink plenty of water and check on elderly neighbors. Monday night will offer little relief, with lows only dropping to the low 70s and more showers possible after dark.
Tuesday brings an 80% chance of showers and a high of 87°F before cooler, drier air settles in midweek. By Friday, July 4, Burlington should see partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s—perfect conditions for fireworks and outdoor events.
