Spokane, Washington – Triple-digit heat is turning up the pressure across eastern Washington, as Spokane faces another day under a summer heat advisory through 8 p.m. Monday, July 14th. Anyone traveling along I-90 or spending time outdoors should prepare for dangerously high temperatures, with little overnight relief for those without air conditioning.
According to the National Weather Service Spokane, a heat advisory remains in effect as Monday’s highs reach 94–99°F across Spokane County, with surrounding cities including Cheney, Davenport, and Coeur d’Alene also feeling the heat. Warm lows in the upper 60s to low 70s mean homes and apartments may struggle to cool down, increasing the risk of heat-related illness, especially for vulnerable residents.
Roadways like I-90 and US-2 may see slower traffic as emergency cooling centers open and officials urge residents to limit travel during peak heat. The Spokane Regional Health District advises drinking plenty of water, wearing lightweight clothing, and checking on neighbors—especially those without air conditioning. Use air conditioning where possible or find a cool location for a few hours; fans alone may not be enough.
Outdoor workers, pet owners, and anyone with afternoon errands should reschedule activities to early morning or late evening. Signs of heat exhaustion include dizziness, nausea, or headache—seek shade and medical help if these occur.
Looking Ahead: Five-Day Forecast for Spokane, WA (July 14–18)
