Apex is waking up to another beautiful spring day, with crisp clear skies and a morning temperature hovering around 50 degrees—the forecast for Thursday, April 17 calls for a high right near 64, so expect a perfect day for a stroll through downtown or hitting the local parks. Yesterday, Apex saw very similar weather with highs in the low 60s and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sports fans alike[6][10].
Speaking of outdoors, allergy sufferers are still in the thick of it. North Carolina is breaking pollen records this year, and tree pollen counts have stayed stubbornly high. Many local residents are reporting more sneezes and itchy eyes than ever before—if you’re feeling it, you’re definitely not alone[7]. The best advice from experts: keep the windows closed and don’t forget to give your pets a quick wash after walks.
On the air quality front, there’s good news. Yesterday and today, most of the Triangle, including Apex, is still seeing mostly Code Green (good) air, with just a few pockets of Code Yellow (moderate) particulates[8]. That means it’s generally safe to be outside unless you’re especially sensitive to pollen or air pollution.
A big shoutout to Apex High School’s varsity soccer team, who clinched a thrilling 2-1 victory last night against long-time rivals—cheers reverberated throughout the stadium as the Cougars snatched the winning goal in the last five minutes. Meanwhile, local baseball and softball teams wrapped up their Wednesday night games just as the sun was setting, with solid performances noted all around.
Community events are in full swing this week. The Eva Perry Library is hosting a creative evening tonight for teens to make paper flowers, starting at 6:30 pm, and local officials are holding a Town Council special meeting today that will cover updates on upcoming festivals and community projects[2][1]. Don’t forget, SuperFun Saturday is just around the corner—it promises to pack Salem Street with family activities, food, and live music.
If you’re looking for something to do this afternoon, downtown Apex is bustling and the parks are in top form. Just bring some tissues if those pollen levels have your nose running. Enjoy the day—the Peak of Good Living is living up to its name.
