Houston, TX, August 13, 2026 —
Houston is set to face significantly hot conditions on Thursday, with forecasters predicting a high temperature of 98°F. The heat index, which measures how hot it feels when relative humidity is factored in, is expected to reach a stifling 108°F.
Looking ahead to Friday, there is a possibility of scattered afternoon thunderstorms. These storms may offer a brief respite from the extreme heat, potentially bringing a slight decrease in temperatures. However, the incoming tropical moisture associated with these systems is also expected to increase humidity levels.
Following the brief interruption from potential storms on Friday, the region is anticipated to return to intense heat and elevated humidity. Temperatures are projected to climb once again into the upper 90s for the subsequent days.
