Hottest days of the year?

Typically, the hottest days of the year occur in late July to early August for the city of Houston. Usually temperatures on average max out around 96 degrees. But as we know these temperatures fluctuate too above and below average. Last year we saw some areas constantly enter the upper 90s especially going into early August. Below is a look at all of our high temperatures for July.

Likelihood of record temperatures?

As we continue through this stretch, what is the likelihood that we see record temperatures? Well, luckily right now it’s not looking very likely. Highs over the next couple of days are expected to reach the upper 90s, potentially seeing 100 degrees in some areas.

We will still be dealing with a lot of heat. Of course, when factoring in humidity, it’ll feel even worse. Here’s a look at some of the forecasted high temperatures compared to the record highs.

Staying cool

Though we are not expecting record heat this week, it is still going to feel really hot and muggy outside.

As always, make sure to stay hydrated and keep cool. We will continue to update you on the heat and return of rain chances later this week.
