In Lehi, Utah, the first week of February 2025 is buzzing with activity, despite the chilly winter weather. As of February 6, 2025, the city is experiencing temperatures around 43°F, with a light wind and partly cloudy skies, setting the stage for a crisp and invigorating day[1][2].
For those with allergies, there's some relief; the pollen count, although moderate, is not at peak levels. The primary allergen, mountain cedar or Ashe juniper, is present at around 95 PPM, with grass and weed pollen being negligible. This is slightly higher than the previous day but still manageable[1][3].
Air quality, however, remains a concern. As of the latest update, PM 2.5 levels are at 12.6 µg/m³, categorizing the air quality as moderate. Residents are advised to be mindful, especially on days when burning solid fuel or outdoor fires are prohibited due to air action days[1][4].
On the sports front, while there are no recent scores to report from the past 24 hours, Lehi High School's athletic achievements continue to be a source of community pride. The school's football team has secured several state championships, including titles in 2021 and 2022[1].
Community events are also in full swing. The city is gearing up for the 2025 Utah Classic dance competition, scheduled for February 14-15 at Skyridge High School. This event promises an exciting lineup of junior teams, solo cabaret performances, and various syllabus and open categories. General admission tickets are still available for purchase online[1].
Lehi’s Family Park, which opened in September 2024, remains a popular spot for families. This $20 million all-abilities park features an aviation-themed playground, a 420 sq. ft. splash pad area, and a fully fenced single entrance. Despite initial controversy, the park has been a hit with the community[1].
Looking ahead, the community is excited about the upcoming Lehi Temple, announced by President Russell M. Nelson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The temple will be built on a 22.48-acre site and will include a multi-story structure and a public meetinghouse. Additionally, the city continues to benefit from the opening of the Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital in February 2024, a significant addition to the healthcare facilities in Lehi[1].
As Lehi moves forward into 2025, it's clear that the city is a dynamic and evolving community, balancing growth with the needs of its residents and addressing challenges such as economic issues and air quality. Whether you're enjoying the new playground at Family Park or looking forward to the upcoming temple, there's always something new and exciting happening in Lehi.
