People living in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio can expect hot and hazy weather this week. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will rise each day, reaching near 90°F by Saturday. The early part of the week will also see some haze in the sky due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, especially on Tuesday.
As the days go by, skies will clear up, but the heat and humidity will increase. People are advised to stay cool, drink lots of water, and avoid too much outdoor activity during the hottest hours of the day.
Smoke and Haze in the Skies from Canadian Wildfires
The haze seen in the skies over Cleveland is coming from wildfires in Canada. While it’s not thick smoke, it can still affect how clear the sky looks. On Tuesday, areas like Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Summit counties may have hazy skies and slightly reduced visibility, especially during the early mornings.
However, the air quality is expected to improve by Wednesday. Still, drivers should be extra careful on the roads during hazy mornings, and people with breathing problems should avoid outdoor exercise until the air clears.
Isolated Storm Possible Wednesday, But Most Days Will Be Sunny
There’s a small chance of an isolated thunderstorm in northwest Ohio on Wednesday afternoon. But for most of Cleveland and nearby areas, the weather will stay dry and mostly sunny from Tuesday through Saturday. The warm weather will come with rising humidity, which can make it feel even hotter than it really is.
Stay Hydrated and Take Care During the Heat
Health experts are advising everyone to take care in the heat, especially older people and young children. Try to stay indoors during the afternoon when temperatures are highest. Drink water often, wear light clothes, and check on elderly neighbours or those without fans or air conditioning.
If the heat continues to increase or if any storms develop later in the week, local authorities may issue weather advisories. Keep checking updates and follow safety tips during this hot and humid stretch.
