The anticipated warmer temperatures could exacerbate existing drought conditions, particularly in the Gulf Coast region, which is already expected to see below-average rainfall. Residents in Southeast Texas, especially those in urban areas like Houston, may face increased risks of heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Agricultural sectors could also be affected by the combination of heat and limited rainfall, potentially impacting crop yields and water resources. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those without access to air conditioning, are at heightened risk during prolonged heat events.
