Heat eases Sunday as temperatures return to near normal
After several days with highs near 100 degrees, temperatures are expected to cool on Sunday, returning to near or slightly below average for this time of year. The shift should bring a welcome break from the recent heat.
This kind of cooldown often follows changes in the air mass or increased cloud cover, and even a modest drop can make a noticeable difference in comfort. It can also help reduce strain on the power grid as air-conditioning demand eases.
What to expect
– Milder afternoons with more comfortable mornings and evenings
– Conditions still warm at times due to residual heat from prior days
– Continued benefits from basic heat safety: stay hydrated and limit extended time in direct sun during peak afternoon hours
Helpful notes
– This is a good window for outdoor plans that were postponed by the heat.
– Vulnerable groups, including older adults and young children, may find conditions more manageable, but caution is still wise.
– Giving your home a brief A/C break or raising the thermostat a degree can save energy during the cooldown without sacrificing comfort.
Summary: After a stretch of near-100-degree days, Sunday brings a return to seasonable or slightly cooler-than-average temperatures, offering meaningful relief and safer conditions for outdoor activities.
