Daily Weather Brief for December 27, 2025

Today’s Daily Weather Brief for Houston brings warm temperatures and thick cloud cover across the region. Despite the gray skies, conditions will stay calm, and the day should feel comfortable for most outdoor plans.

Warm and Overcast Conditions

Temperatures rise to about 84°F this afternoon, which is above average for late December. Morning readings start near 67°F, while the evening settles into the low 70s. Even with the warmth, the overcast skies should help keep conditions stable.

Cloud cover sits near 94%, so sunshine will be limited. However, the cloud deck remains high and should not produce rain. Because of this, most residents can move forward with weekend errands and gatherings without weather disruptions.

Light Winds and Calm Conditions Across Houston

Winds move in from the south at about 11 mph, with occasional gusts reaching 23 mph. While breezy at times, these winds fall well below hazardous thresholds. As a result, travel on highways and area bridges should remain smooth.

Humidity stays elevated under the cloud cover, but no fog advisories are expected. Visibility should remain strong throughout the day.

Air Quality and Health Notes

Air quality stays in the moderate range. Sensitive individuals may want to limit long outdoor exposure, especially during the warmest hours. Everyone else should breathe easily throughout the day.

No heat advisories are in effect despite the above-average temperatures. The warm pattern continues a stretch of mild winter weather across Southeast Texas.

What Residents Should Know

Though the day will be mostly quiet, the strong cloud cover may make the afternoon feel muggy. Because of that, hydration remains helpful for anyone spending extended time outdoors. The steady south wind also signals upcoming moisture increases, which may contribute to a more active weather pattern later in the week.

• High temperature: about 84°F
• Morning low: about 67°F
• Evening temperature: near 74°F
• Wind: 11 mph from the south, gusts near 23 mph
• Rain: none expected

Looking Ahead

Because winds continue from the Gulf, moisture levels should rise over the next several days. This shift may bring patchy fog or light rain chances early next week. However, no severe weather signals appear in the short term. Residents can expect continued warm afternoons as the year winds down.
