Riverton, WY – Clear skies and rising temperatures will bring Riverton into its hottest stretch of summer starting Tuesday, with highs climbing to 93°F and staying well above normal through midweek. The heat will intensify Wednesday, topping out near 97°F before easing slightly by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday’s mild upper 80s will give way to a sharp rise Tuesday as winds shift from the east, pulling in warmer, drier air. Daytime humidity will stay low, and skies will remain cloud-free, offering strong sun exposure from late morning through early evening.
Residents should limit strenuous outdoor activity during the afternoon peak, wear sunscreen, and stay hydrated. The heat may impact outdoor workers, school sports practices, and afternoon travel comfort. While overnight lows in the low to upper 50s will offer some relief, the rapid warm-up each morning will make midday hours the most taxing.
This warm pattern will hold through Thursday before a slight cooling trend into Friday. No storms are expected until late in the week.
