An Ozone Action Day is in effect for Houston right now, and if you're planning to be outside for any length of time today, that changes your plan. Today is May thirteenth, and the conditions are almost textbook for poor air quality.
Here's what matters for today. If you fall into a sensitive group, that means children, older adults, anyone with asthma or respiratory conditions, the guidance is clear.
On the practical side, today's conditions are otherwise fairly manageable. Ninety-one degrees with clear skies means direct sun exposure is the main issue.
The bigger shift comes later this week. Humidity is confirmed to start rising by Thursday and Friday.
Rain returns to Houston by the weekend. That's the current picture, and it's a meaningful shift after a dry stretch.
The two things worth tracking from here: first, how the air quality situation develops through this afternoon, particularly if you or someone in your household is in a sensitive group. Second, the weekend rain timing as we get closer to Friday and more precise forecast data becomes available.
