As reported early this morning, the humidity level in San Antonio stands at a hefty 85%, a lingering reminder of the Gulf's presence, despite the wind's calm demeanor and the barometer's readings holding steady at 30.05 inches the forecast unveils a series of similarly sultry nights with temperatures only dropping to the high 70s, offering little relief from the sweltering days. Amid such heat, an east wind turns into a south-southwest breeze after midnight.
For the coming days, the city should brace itself for continued heat, especially on Wednesday and Thursday, creating highs around 102 and 103 degrees, respectively. The forecasts indicate the heat index values could reach oppressive levels, peaking as high as 107, with only minimal wind movements to offer a semblance of cooling. Wednesday night's conditions, too, are expected to provide little reprieve, as temperatures will linger around 79 degrees, the south wind persisting at a gentle pace.
Looking ahead to the weekend, San Antonio's forecast continues this trend with consistent daytime highs exceeding the century mark; every day from Thursday through Sunday heralds a stubborn sun, promising a high near 103 degrees and clear nights maintaining lows in the uncomfortably warm 80s.
The rest of the forecast for early next week suggests the heat will persist, but might slightly relent with Monday's high nearing a still steamy 100 degrees. San Antonians should take heed of this extended forecast and prepare for the days of intense heat ahead, staying hydrated and seeking shade whenever possible to combat the effects of the sun's relentless rays.
