Houston, Texas – September heat holds its grip on Southeast Texas, pushing daily highs into the low 90s and keeping roads like I-45 hot and dry. Residents should prepare for unrelenting sunshine and rising afternoon temperatures through Friday. Stay hydrated and limit outdoor work during peak heat, especially midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston, Tuesday will reach a high near 88 with light northeast winds. Clear skies at night will allow temperatures to dip to the upper 60s, offering mild relief. By Wednesday and Thursday, highs climb to 91 and 92 degrees, while nighttime lows hover in the mid-70s. Sunshine continues without interruption, keeping rainfall chances near zero.
The extended stretch of heat impacts drivers across Harris County, where sun glare could complicate morning and evening commutes. Cooling centers remain an option for residents struggling with limited air conditioning. Energy demand is also expected to increase, and officials encourage conserving power during peak afternoon hours.
While this week stays hot and dry, fall-like changes remain distant. No rain appears in Houston’s outlook before early next week. Residents should plan for outdoor events, school drop-offs, and late-day travel under persistent sunshine.
The heat dome may lift slightly after the weekend, but until then, conditions stay consistent. More updates will follow if excessive heat advisories are issued.
