Corpus Christi, TX – South Texas residents can expect a hot and sunny stretch this week, with temperatures climbing into the upper 90s by midweek and little chance of rain.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, afternoon highs will range from the mid-80s along the coast to the upper 90s inland through Friday. Wednesday and Thursday are forecast to be the hottest days, with highs near 98 degrees in parts of Nueces, Bee, and Webb counties. Overnight lows will remain mild, dropping into the mid-60s inland and mid-70s along the Gulf Coast.
Beach conditions are expected to stay relatively calm, but forecasters caution that the UV index is “very high” today, raising the risk of sunburn and heat-related illness. Water temperatures are in the mid-80s with wave heights around two feet. The rip current risk is low, though swimmers are advised to remain cautious, especially near piers and jetties.
While rain chances remain slim—generally below 20 percent—residents should prepare for prolonged heat. The weather service advises staying hydrated, limiting strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, and using sunscreen when outdoors.
This week’s pattern of warm days and mild nights will continue across Corpus Christi, Victoria, Beeville, Laredo, and surrounding areas. A slight uptick in rain chances may return Friday but is not expected to provide significant relief from the heat.
