Houston Faces Hottest Day of 2026 with Scattered Evening Thunderstorms
US · Published Jul 23, 2026
Houston is experiencing its hottest day of 2026 so far, with temperatures expected to reach between 100°F and 105°F (37.8°C to 40.6°C).
Scattered evening thunderstorms are anticipated, though they are not associated with Tropical Storm Bertha, which is currently weakening near the Louisiana coast.

Impact & Risks

The extreme heat poses risks of heat-related illnesses, particularly for outdoor workers and vulnerable populations. Scattered thunderstorms this evening could bring localized strong winds and heavy rain, but no widespread flooding is expected. Coastal areas south of Houston may experience heavier rainfall tomorrow, with totals of 1 to 3 inches possible. Dangerous surf and minor coastal flooding are also concerns along the Gulf Coast.
