Wilmington, Delaware – A stretch of dry, sunny days will keep Wilmington and much of northern Delaware basking in upper-80s heat through at least Wednesday, with little chance for rain or cooling relief. Afternoon highs could top out near 89°F Monday and Tuesday, making it feel hotter due to light winds and increasing humidity.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, Monday and Tuesday will remain mostly sunny, with daytime highs climbing close to 90°F and overnight lows hovering in the mid-to-upper 60s. Light southerly breezes may offer some comfort, but stagnant air during the evenings could make conditions feel muggy.
The persistent dry spell means lawns and gardens will continue to dry out, and air quality could begin to dip, especially for sensitive groups. Those spending time outdoors should stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity in the afternoon hours, and monitor pets for heat-related stress.
While a few clouds will return by midweek, rain chances remain slim. The pattern looks to hold through Thursday before any potential changes.
