Houston, TX – Temperatures in the 90s are gripping the Houston area, and tonight brings an added celestial event. High temperatures today are expected to reach the upper 90s, while lows will settle in the mid-70s. Adding to the day’s challenges, an air quality alert is in place, advising sensitive groups to limit outdoor activities during peak hours due to high ozone levels.
According to the National Weather Service, the heat will continue through Wednesday, with similar temperatures expected for the rest of the week. Residents should take precautions by staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
Later tonight, beginning at 8:41 PM, a partial lunar eclipse will accompany a harvest supermoon. This celestial event will be visible across the region, but viewing conditions may vary due to possible cloud cover. The eclipse is expected to peak around midnight, concluding by 12:47 AM on Wednesday. The combination of high heat and potential visibility for the eclipse makes it a unique evening for Houston residents, but safety remains the priority as the ozone alert continues.
For the next five days, hot and dry conditions will persist, with highs ranging from the upper 80s to mid-90s.
