An air quality alert for an ozone action day on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Atmospheric conditions are expected to favor high ozone pollution levels across Houston, Galveston, and surrounding areas through Sunday evening. You should limit driving or carpooling, restrict outdoor activities to early or late in the day, and be aware that conditions are unhealthy for sensitive groups.
The Orionid Meteor Shower peaks Thursday morning (October 22)! The best viewing hours will be just before sunrise, generally between 4 AM and sunrise when the moon is below the horizon. Peak meteor rates are expected to be between 10-20 meteors per hour. Look to the east/east-southeast just above Mars and Jupiter, and near Orion’s Belt. Clear skies should allow for good visibility. For the best results, observe from a location with minimum light pollution.
Thursdays Outlook is sunny, dry, and warm. High temperatures are forecasted to reach 83 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit inland and 78 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit along the beaches, accompanied by mostly sunny skies, low humidity, and light northeast to east winds at 5 to 10 mph.
We can expect warm and dry conditions throughout the week as high pressure sits over our region. By the latter half of the week, highs are likely to peak near the mid to upper 80s. Rain chances return early next week.
