Did you feel that heat and humidity Wednesday morning? It was so warm that the unofficial low for Wednesday is only two degrees shy of tying the record for the highest low, which is 82.
Don’t worry. The daytime high doesn’t come close to records. Instead, SE Texas hits the low 90s, which is average for this time of year. However, average doesn’t mean it won’t be hot; when factoring in humidity, it will feel like 100 - 105 across SE Texas.
The National Weather Service’s heat risk map indicates a moderate risk on Wednesday. NWS says the heat risk takes into account the time of year, the duration of the heat, both day and night and if those temperatures pose an elevated heat-related impact.
Feels-like temperatures will remain in the triple digits through the week.
Staying well-hydrated and taking breaks indoors is crucial to preventing heat-related illnesses.
