Extreme heat will make it feel more like August than May for Texas, parts of the southeastern US
“Definitely more like August this week than May,” Cameron Self, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office in the Houston and Galveston area, said Tuesday.
Self said that for the next six to 10 days, much of the south central and southeastern United States will be warmer than usual, with the highest temperatures occurring over parts of Texas and Florida.
Self said some parts of southeast Texas could easily break daily record highs and some could come close to breaking their monthly record highs.
Areas like Houston, closer to the Gulf of Mexico, could have their temperatures “modified somewhat” because the water in the Gulf is still cool enough, Self said. Still, parts of Texas farther west of the gulf will see temperatures well over 100 degrees.
It's not uncommon in May for Houston to have a day or two with temperatures around 94 or 95 degrees.
“But getting long stretches of temperatures well in the 90s that usually holds off till June,” Self said. "There's a chance that this could go into next week or longer."
