As of March 27, 2025, the town is experiencing a mild day with temperatures hovering around 59°F, though locals should keep their umbrellas handy as there's a chance of light showers in the afternoon[2].

The air quality index for Apex currently sits at a moderate level, with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) being the primary pollutant of concern[8]. While this is generally acceptable for most individuals, those with respiratory sensitivities may want to limit prolonged outdoor activities.

Allergy sufferers, take note: the tree pollen count is currently at an extremely high level[8]. The risk of experiencing allergy symptoms is significant, so it's advisable to keep windows closed and shower after spending time outdoors.

In local sports news, the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team made a triumphant return to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA March Madness tournament. Led by freshman sensation Tyrese Proctor's impressive 25-point performance, including seven 3-pointers, Duke rolled past Baylor with a convincing 89-66 victory[11].

Apex residents looking for cultural events won't want to miss the upcoming lecture by David Gerdes from CWRU Physics, scheduled for 4:00 pm today at Rockefeller 301[10]. This event promises to be an enlightening experience for science enthusiasts.

On the civic front, the Apex Town Council has been busy with several committee meetings this week. Today, the Joint Finance and Personnel Committee is set to convene, addressing important matters for the town's governance[1].
