Houston’s weather for late November is forecasted to remain warm, with temperatures in the upper 60s to high 70s through Thanksgiving. A thunderstorm is possible Monday after 3 p.m., with showers continuing into the night, according to the National Weather Service.
Houston has been unusually warm for the past three months, leading many residents to wonder how much climate change is involved. The Houston Chronicle reports that state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon says the heat comes from both long-term warming and a strong high-pressure “ridge” now over the region. He noted, “This year, we are well above the trend line, so it’s not all climate change causing it,” explaining that the ridge is adding to the current temperature spike.
Houston is experiencing unusually high autumn temperatures, continuing a trend of rising seasonal heat. The extended warmth has contributed to a longer allergy season, increased wildfire risk, and other environmental effects. Residents report continued use of air-conditioning during typically cooler months. Experts say these warmer autumns may persist, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and forecasting of local weather and environmental conditions.
