Many Tampa residents stepped out of their homes on Monday to a refreshing change in the weather. The day started with cooler temperatures and a chilly breeze, a welcome respite from the recent heat. However, as the sun rose higher in the sky, the temperatures climbed into the low 80s, creating a warm and comfortable afternoon.
One of the most noticeable differences on Monday was the low humidity. The air felt dry and crisp, making it easy to spend time outdoors without feeling sticky. This low humidity is expected to continue throughout the week, keeping the area comfortable even as temperatures rise.
Overnight lows will also remain below average, dipping into the upper 50s to low 60s. This means that residents can expect to sleep soundly without the need for air conditioning. In fact, the current weather conditions feel more like mid-March than late April.
The long-range forecast calls for continued warm and dry weather. Highs will gradually climb into the upper 80s by the end of the week, but humidity levels will remain low. This means that Tampa residents can look forward to a stretch of rain-free days and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
