Houston, TX – As Houston wakes up to clear skies this Wednesday, residents should prepare for a sunny and hot week ahead. Today’s temperatures will reach a high of 88°F, and the heat will continue into the weekend with highs climbing near 90°F. With clear conditions expected through Sunday, the Houston area will see a consistent stretch of warm weather, particularly along major roadways like I-45 and the Gulf Freeway.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will dip to a low of 64°F tonight, providing some overnight relief. However, by Thursday, the mercury will rise again to 89°F, continuing Houston’s sunny streak. Northeast winds of up to 10 mph will offer some breeze, though it’s essential to stay hydrated and limit sun exposure during peak afternoon hours.
The forecast predicts even warmer days by Saturday and Sunday, with highs of 90°F and 91°F, respectively. Clear skies mean that UV indexes will likely be elevated, so residents are advised to wear sunscreen and take extra precautions, particularly during midday hours.
As Houstonians plan their weekend outings, Saturday and Sunday will bring perfect weather for outdoor activities, but staying in shaded areas or using sun protection is highly recommended. Those traveling along I-45 or visiting Houston’s outdoor attractions should be prepared for the heat.
Looking ahead, the sunny weather will persist into Columbus Day, with temperatures near 90°F. It’s a perfect time to enjoy the fall sunshine, but be cautious of heat exhaustion as high temperatures persist.
