Houston is waking up to 95-degree heat and patchy smoke in the air, and the combination makes today one to take seriously. The heat index climbs as high as 106°F — that's the number that matters when you're standing outside, walking to your car, or waiting on a platform. Wind is light out of the south at five to ten miles per hour, which isn't enough to offer any real relief. Rain chances are essentially zero at just one percent, so no storm is coming to break the heat today.
The smoke is patchy rather than a full blanket, but it's real. If you have respiratory sensitivities, or if you're planning any outdoor exercise, this is a day to scale back or skip it entirely. Air quality is not in your favour.
Tonight offers little relief — temperatures drop only to around 77°F, and the overnight heat index stays as high as 103°F. The smoke continues through Tuesday night before clearing by Wednesday morning. From Wednesday through the weekend, expect clear sunshine with highs in the mid-90s and lows climbing toward 80°F by Sunday, when rain chances nudge up to four percent.
For today: wear light and breathable clothing, limit time outdoors during peak afternoon heat, hydrate early and often, and give your car a few minutes to air out before getting in. This episode covers Houston's full Tuesday forecast including current conditions, high and low temperatures, heat index, wind, humidity, air quality, and the week-ahead outlook — all in under three minutes.
