Houston heat this week: Triple-digit temperatures and dangerous feels like temps continue

More heat, humidity and triple-digit temps:

We hit 102° again on Monday afternoon, marking the fifth time this week and the sixth time this summer that Houston has reached the century mark. More triple-digit temperatures are in the forecast.

Combined with Houston’s humidity, afternoon heat index values will climb to between 108° and 112°. The current Heat Advisory runs through Tuesday evening, and will likely be extended through at least Wednesday as this dangerous heat wave continues.

Late in the week, the strong ridge of high pressure moves west, opening the door for more Gulf moisture and a weak disturbance to increase rain chances starting Thursday. However, temperatures will remain in the upper 90s. Not a huge rain chance but we’ll take anything to provide some heat relief.

Thursday evening we’re in for a celestial treat; There is a partial lunar eclipse expected around 11pm so hope for a thinning cloud cover if we do see some afternoon storms.

10 Day Forecast:

This is one of the hottest stretches that we’ve seen so far this 2026 summer. With a few more days of 100-degree heat likely, this will be the longest stretch of 100 consecutive days since 2023.
