Houston, TX — Residents across Texas should prepare for rising temperatures as a prolonged heatwave grips the region, with highs expected to reach the mid-90s throughout next week. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the dry weather will continue, with little to no chance of rain and higher-than-normal humidity levels.
The heatwave will create uncomfortable conditions, particularly for those working outdoors or without access to air conditioning. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day, and check on elderly neighbors or vulnerable family members. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can occur rapidly, especially as temperatures continue to rise.
Overnight lows will offer some relief, dipping into the mid-60s to mid-70s. However, daytime heat will remain a concern throughout the week, with clear skies allowing temperatures to climb even higher in some areas. The NWS warns that this pattern could last into the following weekend.
