Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, July 26, 2026 —
The Twin Cities metropolitan area registered its highest temperature in more than four years on Sunday, with the mercury climbing to 99°F at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. This significant heat event also represents the highest temperature recorded in the region for the current year.
In response to the extreme heat, a Heat Advisory has been issued for the area. Forecasters predict that heat index values, often referred to as ‘feels like’ temperatures, could range between 95°F and 100°F on Monday. This combination of high temperatures and humidity can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Residents are advised to take precautions during the ongoing heatwave. Staying hydrated, seeking air-conditioned environments, and limiting strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day are recommended measures to mitigate the risks associated with high temperatures.
