Awful August heat continues for back-to-school kiddos

Heat advisory in place for all of SE Texas

A heat advisory is in effect through 7PM. Please be careful when you are outside in the elements. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

HOUSTON – I know, I know, it’s August and we are always hot.

Why do I keep writing articles on the heat? Well, I do this because heat is the No. 1 weather killer in the U.S., killing far more than tornadoes, derechos and even flooding. It’s important to not get fatigued in the summer heat and let your guard down.

Another day, another heat advisory!

While yesterday the only counties in the heat alerts were along I-10 and south, Tuesday the National Weather Service has extended the heat advisory to include all of Southeast Texas.

Our heat advisory is in place through 7PM this evening. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

Temperatures this afternoon will climb into the mid and upper 90s. On Monday, Houston hit 99° but several cities will likely eclipse 100° Tuesday. The highs are brutal, but the heat alert is in place because our heat index values will be between 108-110° at the hottest point of the day.

Temperatures will be in the upper-90s but feel up to 108° in the afternoon. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

Unfortunately a lot of children will be walking home during the heat of the day. It is so important that the kiddos know to take breaks and drink water.
