Todays weather in Houston Texas - Monday - 25 May 2026

Houston is waking up to an Air Quality Alert on Memorial Day, issued by the National Weather Service out of Houston and Galveston. Before you fire up the grill or head to the park, that alert is the first thing worth knowing — especially if you have kids or anyone with respiratory sensitivities in tow. Limit prolonged outdoor exertion where you can.Today's conditions are otherwise inviting: mostly sunny, a high of 88°F, and a light northeast wind barely touching five miles per hour. Houston humidity will make that 88 feel warmer than it reads, so go light and breathable, and don't skip the sunscreen. There's a 22% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms creeping in — not enough to cancel your cookout, but enough to have a backup plan ready. Tonight the storm chance lingers until around 10 PM, then clears to partly cloudy with a low near 73°F.The week ahead is where things get serious. Rain chances climb Tuesday, then jump to 60% Tuesday night. Wednesday is the one to watch: a 95% chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 82°F — effectively a wash-out day. The stormy pattern eases through Thursday before a drier, warmer weekend returns, with highs pushing back toward 88–89°F.Today is genuinely a nice one, air quality alert aside. Enjoy it — and plan your Wednesday accordingly.This podcast was built using AI technology. A YesWee production.This episode includes AI-generated content.
