Temperatures Tuesday will warm up to around 80 degrees. Wednesday and Thursday, we go from very warm to hot, hazy and humid with temperatures near 90 degrees. Rain chances hold off until the end of the workweek.
The Bronx is in for a warm start to the week, with Tuesday bringing hazy skies, mild humidity, and above-average temperatures. If you’ve been waiting for summer-like weather to return, it’s here—and it’s just getting started.
Tuesday Forecast: Hazy and Mildly Warm
Today’s forecast features highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, with a thin layer of haze in the atmosphere. While skies will remain mostly sunny, the haze—caused by lingering smoke from distant wildfires or stagnant air—may limit visibility slightly and could affect sensitive individuals with respiratory issues.
Light breezes from the southwest will provide some relief, but the real heat is just around the corner.
Temps Climbing Midweek
By Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures in The Bronx are expected to soar into the mid to upper 80s, with feels-like temps potentially approaching the 90s due to increased humidity.
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high near 85°F
- Thursday: Hot and humid, high near 88°F
- Friday: Continued warmth with possible late-day showers
Air Quality and Health Tips
With hazy skies today and warmer air coming, those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions should monitor air quality levels and limit prolonged outdoor activity if needed.
Also, as temperatures rise midweek:
- Stay hydrated
- Wear lightweight, breathable clothing
- Avoid strenuous activities during peak afternoon hours
The heat wave will likely ease slightly by the weekend, but above-average temperatures may stick around into early next week. Scattered thunderstorms are possible by Friday night or Saturday, offering a brief cooldown.
A warm, hazy Tuesday in The Bronx marks the beginning of a hotter stretch ahead. Get ready for rising temps, steamy afternoons, and a taste of summer that’s here to stay—for now.
Stay weather-aware and enjoy the sunshine, safely.
