San Antonio, TX – A scorching heat wave is gripping San Antonio and the surrounding I-35 corridor as temperatures continue to soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the region, warning of elevated risks of heat-related illnesses, particularly for those in areas east of the I-35 corridor. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and take frequent breaks if working outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio, the heat will persist through the week, with daily highs reaching the upper 90s and low 100s. Isolated rain showers and thunderstorms may provide brief relief, particularly across the coastal plains on Tuesday. However, these storms could bring their own hazards, including lightning and localized flooding.
The weather service highlights the importance of monitoring forecasts and preparing for possible heat-related impacts. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children, should take extra precautions. As the heat wave continues, residents are urged to follow safety guidelines to protect themselves from the extreme temperatures expected throughout the week.
