Charlotte is entering its hottest stretch of the summer so far, with temperatures nearing triple digits and heat indices exceeding 100 degrees throughout the week.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are expected to be the hottest days, with actual air temperatures reaching the upper 90s to around 100 degrees. Heat index values may approach or exceed 105°F throughout the Charlotte region, likely exceeding Heat Advisory thresholds.
While short bursts of high heat are common during the summer, forecasters note it’s unusual to see such a sustained period of extreme temperatures this early in the season.
This morning, the National Weather Service tweeted that a heat advisory is likely to be issued this week:
♨️Hot and humid again today with heat indices remaining below Heat Advisory criteria (which starts at 105°F).
🥵Tomorrow will be hotter and muggier with locations east of the mountains expected to approach or reach Heat Advisory criteria. #ncwx #scwx #gawx pic.twitter.com/ZODaWStSHf
