San Antonio, Texas – Texans will need to brace for another scorcher Thursday, July 31st, as dangerous triple-digit heat returns to San Antonio and surrounding areas. Temperatures are expected to hit 101°F by late afternoon, making it one of the hottest days this week — with minimal cloud cover and almost no breeze to bring relief.
According to the National Weather Service in San Antonio, calm winds shifting from the southeast will offer little help cooling things down. The heat is expected to build through 5 p.m., with a “feels like” temperature near 105°F due to high humidity. Officials recommend limiting outdoor work, especially during peak afternoon hours. Hydrate frequently and check on elderly neighbors and pets.
Drivers on I-35, U.S. Route 90, and throughout Bexar County should watch for rising pavement temps that could strain engines and tires. While Thursday stays dry, Saturday brings a 20% chance of late-day thunderstorms, especially east of Loop 1604.
Extended Five-Day Forecast:
- Thursday, July 31: Sunny and hot. High: 101°F. Calm wind becoming SE around 5 mph.
