Residents of Houston, Texas, can expect a clear day with minimal cloud cover on Thursday, November 5, according to a weather report from AccuWeather.
The forecast indicates that temperatures will rise to a high of 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) during the day. By nightfall, the temperature is projected to drop to a low of 64 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius).
The chance of precipitation remains low, hovering between 18 and 19 percent throughout the day and evening. The perceived temperature, or heat index, is expected to reach 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius) for both the daily maximum and the nightly minimum.
Sunlight will return to the area at 6:38 a.m., with twilight beginning at 5:32 p.m. Wind speeds are forecast to peak at 5.59 miles per hour during the day and 4.35 miles per hour at night.
These conditions align with the city's typical seasonal patterns, where average temperatures range from 49 degrees Fahrenheit in winter to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in summer. Houston generally receives approximately 39 inches of rain annually.
Proximity to the Gulf of Mexico contributes to high relative humidity levels, which often fluctuate between 50 and 90 percent. This humidity can make the air feel warmer than the actual thermometer reading suggests. While air quality is usually good, it can be impacted by emissions from local industrial facilities, particularly during summer months when ozone levels rise.
The city remains susceptible to natural hazards, including hurricanes and flooding due to its low-lying geography. Tornadoes are less common but still present a risk of damage. Local emergency protocols are in place to manage these potential weather events.
