JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville and surrounding communities are facing another round of summer heat and sticky humidity.
Temperatures are expected to remain in the low 90s through at least the next seven days, with humidity creating uncomfortable conditions that can feel even hotter.
Overnight lows are likely to only drop to the mid-70s, bringing little relief from the muggy weather.
High temperatures in Jacksonville will be around 92 degrees with highs around 89 to 90 degrees in Ponte Vedra, and similar readings across Palatka, Middleburg and Keystone Heights.
The Weather Authority cautions that this pattern is expected to continue, with rapid warming through the morning hours and little change to humid, steamy conditions.
Afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely
A key concern in this week’s forecast is the likelihood of pop-up rain showers and thunderstorms each afternoon—especially after 1 to 2 p.m.
These showers become more likely as daytime heat builds.
Rain chances increase to 40% by 2 p.m. and 60% by 3 p.m.
While early-week showers are expected to be generally light, the chance for heavier rainfall is likely to increase mid-week as high pressure shifts and more moisture moves into the region.
The Weather Authority expects the trend of daily afternoon storms to stick around for at least the next seven days, but exact locations for the heaviest downpours remain uncertain.
Beach and outdoor safety tips
With extended heat persisting, families and beachgoers are reminded to take extra precautions.
The Exact Track 4D beach forecast points to air temperatures around 89 degrees and water temperatures near 80 degrees, alongside a high UV index.
A moderate risk for rip currents is flagged along the coastline, so swimmers should be cautious and prepared.
Anyone heading outside, especially with children, is advised to go early and bring water, sunscreen, and shade.
For families headed to local playgrounds, midday storms and peak heat are likely, so outdoor plans are safest in the morning hours.
