Virginia Beach, Virginia – Clear skies and mild temperatures will give residents across Virginia a rare chance to view the Aurora Borealis Monday night, following a summerlike day with sunshine and highs near 74°F across the region. Skies will clear completely over Virginia Beach and surrounding areas by sunset Monday, offering ideal viewing conditions along US-58 and oceanfront areas for this rare southern light show.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday, June 2 will be mostly sunny with a high near 74°F. Winds will remain light from the north, shifting southeast later in the day. By Monday night, skies turn mostly clear with temperatures dipping to 59°F and calm wind conditions—perfect for spotting the Northern Lights, which may be visible as far south as Hampton Roads and Eastern Virginia.
Travelers and night owls should prepare for potential light pollution near urban centers, so rural stretches east of I-264 and the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge offer better chances for viewing. No weather-related hazards are expected Monday, but patchy smoke from Canadian wildfires could reduce visibility early Tuesday morning in isolated pockets.
The rest of the week turns progressively warmer:
- Tuesday: Sunny, high 80°F
- Wednesday: Mostly clear, high 82°F
- Thursday: Sunny, high 85°F
- Friday: Slight chance of showers, high 85°F
