Indianapolis woke up under gray, muggy skies on Monday, June 22, with temperatures sitting near 70°F at Indianapolis International Airport. Scattered showers are expected through the morning before the day settles into mainly cloudy conditions this afternoon, keeping highs a few degrees below typical early summer levels. Northwest winds will pick up later and could turn noticeably blustery in more exposed spots.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Showers are most likely before noon on Monday, then fade to a mostly cloudy sky with a high near 70°F. Northwest winds of 6 to 12 mph could gust up to 22 mph this afternoon, so plan on some shaky moments on bridges and near the river. The chance of measurable rain sits around 40%, and most areas should see under a tenth of an inch of rainfall, according to the National Weather Service Indianapolis.
Tonight And Tuesday
Skies turn partly cloudy overnight, with a low near 57°F and north winds of 3 to 12 mph, plus possible gusts up to 21 mph. Tuesday, June 23, shapes up as the pick of the week: sunny, warmer, and less blustery, with a high near 78°F and lighter north-northwest breezes that should make outdoor plans much more appealing.
Late Week Rain Risk
Shower and thunderstorm chances creep back in Wednesday night and linger into the weekend, with the best shot at more widespread rain and heavier downpours coming Friday into Saturday. Forecasters are still working out the exact timing, but a stronger system late in the week could drop more than an inch of rain in some spots. For more on the setup behind this soggier pattern, see how Indy starts sunny, ends soaked later this week.
What To Expect And Tips
Count on a wet and occasionally blustery morning commute, so a rain jacket, a few extra minutes of travel time, and a hard pass on driving through standing water are all smart moves. If you are planning outdoor events later in the week, keep an eye on updated forecasts, since shifting storm timing and heavier Friday to Saturday downpours could easily complicate weekend plans.
