People living in South Texas, especially in Corpus Christi and nearby areas, are going through another very hot week. With temperatures reaching up to 105°F (around 40°C) inland and staying around 90°F (32°C) near the coast, the heat is becoming very hard to bear.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that this heatwave will continue through Sunday.
Temperatures Staying High All Week
According to the NWS in Corpus Christi, daytime temperatures will stay between 90°F and 105°F throughout the week. The hottest days will be Thursday and Friday. Some areas like Alice, Beeville, and Kingsville are expected to see multiple days with temperatures above 100°F.
Even coastal cities like Rockport and Port Aransas, though slightly cooler, are still very humid and uncomfortable. The nights won’t be much better either, with temperatures only dropping to around 75°F to 80°F, giving people very little break from the heat.
Low Chances of Rain
The chances of rain this week are quite low, ranging from just 10% to 35%. Most places won’t get any rain, and that means the ground will remain dry and the heat will feel even worse. Without rain, the region will continue to stay hot and sunny all day long.
People Urged to Stay Safe
City and weather officials are asking everyone to take care during this heatwave. People are advised to stay indoors as much as possible during the hottest parts of the day, drink lots of water, and avoid heavy outdoor work.
It’s also important to check on elderly people, children, and pets, as they are more likely to get sick from the heat.
There are concerns that more people may get sick with heat-related problems like heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Also, electricity usage might go up because of heavy air conditioner use, which could lead to power issues in some areas.
Heat Likely to Continue Till Sunday
This stretch of hot weather is expected to last through Sunday. Although there are small chances of rain here and there, it won’t be enough to cool things down. If the weather gets worse, the National Weather Service might issue more heat advisories in the coming days.
