Heat and humidity will take over on Tuesday and Wednesday before a strong cold front eases temperatures down a bit.
Get ready for scorching heat in San Antonio , as temperatures in the mid-90s temperatures are arriving. The highest temperature recorded this year so far has been 91 degrees on March 5, followed by 90 degrees on April 9 and April 29. After some morning clouds and fog, Tuesday afternoon will remain partly cloudy but become unseasonably hot. Temperatures will soar into the low to mid-90s across South Texas , with dew point temperatures in the 70s adding to the discomfort.
How hot is too hot for human survival? Here’s the new answer. Dew points, which is how cool the air has to be for water vapor in the air to form dew, can indicate how much moisture is in the air. The higher the level of moisture in the air, the warmer the air has to be for dew to form, a sign that the atmosphere is at 100% relative humidity. With such high humidity, heat index readings, or “feels like” temperatures that factor in humidity’s effect on the body, could even reach close to 100.
Dangerous heat is becoming increasingly common in South Texas. Use this free tool to track it. This month, the National Weather Service released an upgraded version of HeatRisk, an experimental forecast based on the risk of heat-related dangers to arise over 24 hours. HeatRisk provides historical context by identifying how unusual the heat is for the time of year.
