Monday’s forecast:
Monday will be similar to what we saw this past weekend. Temperatures will reach the upper 90s with a small chance of storms. We’re not expecting widespread rain but we’ll take anything we can get.
Record-setting hot July:
Despite failing to reach 100 degrees the past three days, Houston is still on track to set the hottest July on record. Records go back to May 1, 1889. Temperatures have been in the upper 90s to 100+ for all but five days this month. We finally broke our stretch of 5 straight 100-degree days last Friday.
The other thing to watch is how many 100-degree days we have this month. 1980 set the record with 18 100-degree days. So far we are at 13 putting us in third place behind 1980 and 1998.
10-day Forecast:
While temperatures are still above average, I don’t have any triple digit temperatures in this 10-day forecast. The biggest reason is we no longer have a dome of high pressure brining unrelenting heat. We also have a chance of rain every afternoon through this weekend.
