A comparison on how hot we were last year versus how hot we are this year
– We’re halfway through August and all we’ve been talking about is the heat.Bush Int'l Airport saw 45 100° days last summer.In total, Houston saw 45 100° days in 2023. That would equate to a month and a half of seeing triple-digit days last year, or in math terms, that’s 12% of the year.
We set many records last August, with two days reaching 109° only three days apart from each other. That is the all time record high temperature for Houston. This is due to in part of how much rainfall we’ve had this year. During the month of July, when Hurricane Beryl moved through, Houston saw over 10 inches of rain.
With the added humidity, it will feel well above 100°. Make sure to stay hydrated and wear loose fitting, light colored clothing during this hot week - especially as kiddos are back in school!It’s not all bad news as we get through the last half of August. September does still tend to be hot, but here’s some Houston climatology as fall is just around the corner!
