Good morning and welcome to the end of March. We don’t have the final temperatures yet for the month, but the average temperature through the first 29 days of this March is 71.1 degrees, which is 8.6 Fahrenheit degrees above normal. This ranks as the second warmest March on record in the city. The city’s […]

Houston officially reached 90 degrees on Wednesday at Bush Intercontinental Airport, marking the region’s first such day of the year. This milestone has come about six weeks early this year, and we’ll see two more very warm March days before a cool front on Saturday. Speaking of the heat and humidity, we’ll address the idea […]

Good morning. It is March 25th, and Houston will experience a serious springtime heat wave this week. The average date of the region’s first 90-degree day typically does not come until May, based on historical data: Houston-Bush Intercontinental: May 7 Houston-Hobby: May 6 Galveston: June 21 College Station: May 2 However, all locations but Galveston […]

Good morning. We’re entering Houston’s “week of summer” and it’s only March. If this is too early for humid nights and hot days for you, don’t fret too much. Before the end of March it appears as though Houston will return to more seasonable, spring-like weather. But it will definitely be warm until then. Tuesday […]

Houston’s brief flirtation with cooler, spring-like weather over the weekend has ended with the resumption of an onshore flow over the region. This will set the stage for a warm, and mostly dry week that will bring the warmest weather of 2020 so far into the region, with conditions positively summer-like by the middle of […]

Good morning. The northern hemisphere experiences its earliest vernal equinox in more than a century today—the Sun will cross the equator heading north at 10:49pm CT tonight. Of course Houston has seen spring-like weather for awhile now, and the biggest weather question we have is rainfall. It has generally been a dry start to 2020 […]

Oh, hey, look at this—another warm and humid morning in the middle of March. Temperatures across much of the region on Wednesday morning have not fallen below 70 degrees. We’ll have a couple more days in this pattern before a front arrives to bring some cooler weather along with some much needed rainfall. This rain, […]

Situation update: Today, all clubs and bars in Houston and Harris County will close for at least 15 days. Restaurants will provide take-out service only. Residents are advised to remain home unless they are grocery shopping, visiting a physician, or on other essential business. These are very difficult measures both socially and economically, but as […]

Houston saw some blips of sunshine Sunday, which is a good thing because most of this week looks cloudy. Our region will also remain quite warm, with high temperatures of around 80 degrees, until a front arrives later this week. Not only should this front help cool the region down; the combination of moderately stronger […]

Space City Weather is, and always will be, a weather site. We have no pretensions beyond providing the most reliable forecasts we can, and help the greater Houston residents make decisions about what is best for themselves and their families in times of inclement weather. With that said, we have received numerous questions about the […]
