If the current weather patterns are any indication, Salt Lake City is about to experience a slice of climate heaven. According to the recent forecast from the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, residents can expect a week filled with abundant sunshine and rising temperatures. Today's sunny skies are merely the opening act for a steadily warming trend throughout the week.

The numbers speak for themselves after a partly cloudy update earlier this morning boasting a comfortable 57°F, the mercury is set to climb up to a pleasant 78°F by the afternoon. And true to form, Mother Nature plans to slowly turn up the dial, because Tuesday's forecast suggests we are to see a high near 88, with only a light breeze in attendance. But wait, it’s not time to bring out those high-wattage fans just yet. That almost imperceptible shift of wind from west to northwest in the afternoon couldn’t possibly be more gentle.

As the week progresses, sun worshippers rejoice, Wednesday and Thursday are looking to be near carbon copies of each other. Both will boast sunny skies and high temperatures lounging in the mid-80s. Wednesday will have a Southeast wind, changing to another direction by afternoon. Thursday will maintain clear night skies with a low around 59, as reported by the National Weather Service.

Heading into the weekend, the forecast continues to promise more of the same, sunny and even warmer. Come Friday the high may soar to the high 80s, and Saturday's not holding back either, with indications of a high near 90. Residents should prepare to seriously notch up their hydration game as Sunday plans to bring us a high near 91; yes, summer is giving us its all in the final weeks.
