Saturday’s high of 90 kicked off a 90 streak for the next few days.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis hit 90 degrees yesterday, which marks the 10th day 90+ so far this year. On average, the city sees about 20 days at 90 ° + per year. Last year we had 18 days at or above 90 °, the record having been set at 58 since 1983.

Yesterday’s high at 90 kicked off a series of 90s for the next few days. We are hot and humid with partly to mostly sunny skies today. Highs are approaching 90 again with heat indices of 95-100. It is not typical for this time of year. The average maximum is now trending downward as we have less daylight and a lower solar angle in the sky. The normal maximum is around 84.

We have another hot dry day to start the work week with highs in the 90s under mostly sunny skies. We get a brief break from the high humidity, but it returns quickly on Tuesday with showers and thunderstorms developing into the afternoon.

Highs peak near 93 with heat indices of 100-105. We’re back in the low 90s on Wednesday and Thursday before a frontal limit brought our next best chance for rain on Thursday night.

This will also bring a slight break from the high heat, but it will still be quite warm for this time of year with highs in the upper 80s for Friday until next weekend.
