What Houston Residents Should Know

Today’s weather is quiet and stable, which benefits commuters and families planning outdoor activities. While skies remain gray, visibility stays good. The overcast conditions may keep road temperatures cooler, helping limit heat buildup in parking lots and on highways.

Because the humidity stays moderate, the day feels warm rather than muggy. Outdoor exercise is comfortable, especially in the morning or late afternoon.

Air Quality and Health Notes

Air quality remains in the good range today. Light winds help disperse pollutants, so sensitive groups should experience no issues. With no pollen spikes expected, seasonal allergy symptoms should stay mild.
