Apex, North Carolina, is alive with springtime energy, and the past 24 hours have been a reminder of why it’s called "The Peak of Good Living." Here’s your roundup of what’s been happening:
The weather in Apex yesterday and today has been a mixed bag. Thursday saw cooler temperatures, with highs reaching only 52°F, and today is shaping up to be slightly warmer, peaking at 55°F by the afternoon. Clouds will linger, and there’s a chance for brief showers, so don’t leave the house without an umbrella. Tomorrow looks brighter, with temperatures expected to rise to a sunny 66°F.
Sports fans, rejoice! Last night’s high school baseball game had the Apex Friendship Patriots triumph over the Green Hope Falcons with a score of 6-4 in a thrilling matchup. On the soccer field, the Apex High Cougars girls’ team played a hard-fought match, securing a 2-2 draw against Holly Springs. Both teams are building momentum as they approach the midpoint of their seasons.
Spring allergies are hitting hard as the pollen count remains high. Thursday’s total count reached 488.8 grains per cubic meter, dominated by pine and oak tree pollen. Grass and weed pollen levels were also notable contributors. If you’re planning any outdoor activities, stock up on antihistamines and consider wearing a mask, as sensitive groups may struggle with the high levels.
Air quality, on the other hand, was a bright spot, staying in the “Good” range with an AQI of 35–40. This means the air is clean and safe for outdoor activities, as long as you can handle the pollen.
Looking ahead, Apex is preparing for tomorrow’s Holi Celebration downtown, a vibrant festival of colors and joy. It’s an opportunity to experience Indian culture and enjoy music, dancing, and food. This event promises fun for the whole family, kicking off at 11 AM at Town Hall campus.
That’s your snapshot of Apex life! Whether you’re cheering on local sports, enjoying the spring vibes, or gearing up for a weekend of festivities, there’s no shortage of ways to soak up everything this charming town has to offer. Stay allergen-aware and have a wonderful weekend!
