Houston has had consecutive days of 97-degree temperatures, and I don’t foresee this heat wave breaking soon. However some relief should eventually arrive in about 10 days time.
Easy forecast. With high pressure anchored in place highs will be in the mid- to upper-90s, and a heat advisory in effect for today may be extended for much of this week. Lows will be around 80 degrees. Skies mostly sunny. Skin mostly sweaty.
We’re in the middle of summer and anyone stepping outside knows it. The official high temperature in Houston reached 96 degrees on Saturday, and we’re in for more of the same hot weather for quite some time.
Yes, you read that right. The forecast for now through next work week is more or less the same as a result of lying under the influence of high pressure. Temperatures will climb into the mid-90s (a bit lower for the coast) and lows will only fall to around 80 degrees (a bit warmer along the coast).Skies will be mostly sunny with near zero rain chances. Some fairly strong winds will blow out of the south for the next few days, coming in from the Gulf.
A new month means a new sponsor for Space City Weather, and I’m pleased to announce that for July HHPage Marketing will support the site. You can find out more information about the company, an internet marketing agency, here.

Good morning. We’re a day away from July, and it’s as if Mother Nature knows this. After a relatively cool late spring and early summer, we’re about to jump into Houston’s heat and humidity with both feet.
Some storms that have developed offshore early this morning are likely to work their way inward to the southern half of the Houston metro area later this morning, and during the afternoon hours. I’m not expecting anything more than brief, isolated to scattered thunderstorms, however. This pattern of a few stray storms should continue for both Friday and Saturday. Highs should climb into the mid-90s, with lows in the upper 70s. And if you think this is bad, just wait until next week.
As high pressure stamps its authority on the region Houston will descend deeper into summer. As most long-time residents know, high pressure during high summer means temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s, mostly sunny skies, only a very slight chance of rain and the potential for heat advisories.
There’s just no way to sugar coat what is coming, I’m afraid. Sorry to say, but I don’t see much relief from this pattern at any point next week.
