Houston, TX – The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) issued an Ozone Action Day for Monday, warning residents about poor air quality. With high ozone levels expected throughout Houston, Galveston, and Brazoria counties, officials urge residents to limit outdoor activities, especially during peak traffic hours on I-45.
According to the National Weather Service, atmospheric conditions will be favorable for increased pollution levels. Residents can help reduce ozone emissions by carpooling, using public transit, or staying indoors. On Monday, clear skies and temperatures in the mid-90s will persist, worsening air quality by late afternoon. Authorities recommend keeping vehicles well-maintained to minimize emissions.
This week’s forecast calls for sunny conditions through Thursday, with highs near 95°F. Friday may bring relief with a 30% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Air quality may improve later in the week, but ozone levels remain a concern.
