San Antonio is starting Monday near 79 degrees with heavy humidity, but the real heat is still building. Mostly sunny skies will send temperatures to around 100 this afternoon, with the hottest stretch arriving from midafternoon into early evening. Rain is not expected, and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed.

Triple-Digit Heat Sticks Around

Tuesday will again reach about 100 degrees, with heat-index values as high as 104. Highs are forecast near 101 from Wednesday through Sunday, while overnight lows only dip to the upper 70s. The National Weather Service says the dry, rain-free pattern will continue across South Central Texas through the weekend.

Winds will offer little relief, staying mostly between calm and 10 mph from the south or southeast. Gusts could reach 20 mph on Wednesday and Thursday nights, but the broader forecast remains sunny and settled. Rain chances stay at zero through Friday, then rise only slightly to 4% Saturday and 2% Sunday.

Plan Outdoor Time Before The Afternoon Peak

Anyone working or exercising outside should shift strenuous activity earlier in the day when possible, take frequent breaks and drink water before thirst sets in. The City of San Antonio recommends using air-conditioned places such as libraries, pools, community centers and malls for relief during dangerous heat, while checking on older neighbors, children and people with special needs.
