Houston, TX – Houston residents can expect clear skies and scorching temperatures as a heatwave sweeps through the region this Tuesday, May 13th. With highs expected to reach 94°F, it will feel like summer has arrived early in the Bayou City.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Tuesday will bring bright, sunny conditions with very little cloud cover. Winds will remain light, coming from the south at 5 to 10 mph, but with such high temperatures, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor exposure, especially during peak afternoon hours.
The weather could have significant effects on outdoor activities and travel across Houston, with rising temperatures throughout the day. Make sure to check on elderly neighbors and pets, who are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. For those working or commuting outside, be prepared for intense sun, and wear sunscreen, hats, and light clothing to help protect yourself from the heat.
In the Houston metro area, the heat will persist throughout the week, with highs remaining in the 90s through Thursday, hitting 95°F on Wednesday and Thursday. If you’re planning to be outside in the coming days, consider shifting your activities to the early morning or late evening to avoid the worst of the heat.
Looking ahead, the extended forecast offers little relief, with temperatures hovering between 91°F and 95°F through Friday. While there’s no significant rain in the forecast, the sunny, hot conditions will continue to impact daily life across the region.
