Key takeaway Last time it was +80 Degrees in the Twin Cities was June 12 and last 90 Degree Day was 91 Degrees on June 10 but things are going to change starting this Sunday.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The impending heat wave starting this Sunday will likely put a strain on Minneapolis ' community resources, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and young children. As temperatures soar into the low to mid 90s, heat index values reaching 100 to 108 degrees will make outdoor activities challenging. The city's parks and public spaces may see increased usage as residents seek relief from the heat, making it crucial for the city to ensure these areas are well-maintained and equipped with adequate water and shade provisions. Additionally, the risk of severe thunderstorms, especially in overnight hours, may lead to power outages, which could further exacerbate the heat-related issues. Minneapolis residents should prepare for the heat wave by staying hydrated, checking on neighbors, and having a plan in place in case of severe weather.
