Here is your forecast for Thursday, July 24th, 2025.

With more sunshine this morning, high temperatures climbed to 93° in Naples, Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. With clouds and rain around SWFL this afternoon, temperatures have fallen into the upper 70s and lower 80s and will stay there through the evening.

Scattered rain will wrap up by 9pm. Overnight, clearing skies are forecast and we'll start off Friday in the mid-70s with sunshine. High temperatures will climb into the mid-90s and feel more like 100-105° with the humidity. Winds are expected out of the southeast between 10-15 mph.

After 2pm, scattered showers and storms will be developing, though they're not expected to be as widespread as today. Most storms will fizzle by 7pm, meaning most Friday evening outdoor plans should be dry.

This weekend, high pressure takes control, bringing in much drier air. This will drop rain chances to 10-20%. This in turn also means to expect hotter temperatures returning to the mid-90s.

Some good news? Unlike last weekend, this weekend's dew points are expected in the low to mid-70s (versus last weekend's mid to upper 70s). While it will feel more like 100-105°, because of those slightly lower dew points, we should stay out of Heat Advisory territory.
