Mon Jun 23 09:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Headline: Scorching Heat Wave to Grip Vermont & Northern New York Before Cooling Trend Arrives
**Burlington, VT -** Residents of Vermont and northern New York are bracing for the hottest weather of 2025 so far, with oppressive heat and humidity expected to peak on Monday and Tuesday. “Feels like” temperatures will soar above 100 degrees due to highs in the mid-to-upper 90s and dew points lingering in the 70s, according to NBC5 News First Warning Weather.
Monday will bring intense sunshine and dry conditions, while Tuesday starts sunny before a cold front arrives, potentially triggering scattered thunderstorms, especially in northern areas, in the afternoon.
Relief from the sweltering heat is expected by Wednesday, with temperatures dropping into the low 80s under partly sunny skies. The cooler trend will continue late in the week, with highs only reaching the 70s. Thursday should remain mostly dry, but a chance of rain will develop on Friday and could linger into the weekend.
