Houston heat persists as October temperatures hit the 90s; when will we see a cold front?

If it feels more like summer than fall outside, you’re not alone.

When does Houston typically see its first taste of autumn? Brown broke down recent trends, showing that, historically, the first cold fronts have reached the area in mid-October. Over the past five years, most first fronts have arrived between October 14 and 22.

But last autumn was anything but typical; 2024 didn’t bring a cold front until November, making it the third warmest October on record. That kind of abnormal fall weather set the stage for this year’s warm start to October.

Tuesday’s Forecast:

Tuesday will start off in the 60s and by the afternoon we’ll be in the 80s and lower-90s just a few degrees warmer than Monday.

We’ll continue to watch another air quality alert, coupled with high ragweed allergies.
