Houston locals can expect a sunny and warm week ahead, moving into the mid 80s today with a significant uptick in heat forecast starting Tuesday. The National Weather Service predicts light northwest winds today, increasing from 5 to 10 mph as the day progresses, and a shift to a warmer pattern beginning tomorrow, with highs nearing 95 degrees and gusts that may reach 25 mph.
While the weather remains largely clear, an Ozone Action Day has been declared due to pollution levels that could affect those with lung or heart conditions. Although most people might not notice it, the conditions, originated from light winds and clear skies, could pose a risk for those with existing health issues, as they should steer clear of prolonged outdoor activities. This information comes according to Fox 26 Houston, who also notes the relative humidity will stay on the lower end.
Temperatures in Houston are expected to stay in the 90s through late May, with no signs of cooling down. Residents should prepare for hot days ahead, stay hydrated, and follow updates from the National Weather Service. Sunny skies and summer-like heat are likely to continue.
