WHat was the temperature and weather like in Houston Texas on July 26 1977?

I wasn't around back then, but taking into account the date, and the fact that I've lived there twice, I would have to say extremely hot and unbearably humid.

Yes.. It's called heat index..\n--------------------------------------\nThe heat index (HI) or humidex is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine an apparent temperature — how hot it actually feels. The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, or sweating, in which the water in the sweat evaporates and carries heat away from the body. However, when the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate of the water is reduced. This means heat is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing it to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Measurements have been taken based on subjective descriptions of how hot subjects feel for a given temperature and humidity, allowing an index to be made which corresponds a temperature and humidity combination to a higher temperature in dry air.\n\nAt high temperatures, the level of relative humidity needed to make the Heat Index higher than the actual temperature is lower than at cooler temperatures. For example, at 80 °F (approximately 27 °C), the heat index will agree with the actual temperature if the relative humidity is 45%, but at 110 °F (roughly 43 °C), any relative-humidity reading above 17% will make the Heat Index higher than 110 °F. Humidity is deemed not to raise the apparent temperature at all if the actual temperature is below approximately 68 °F (20 °C) — essentially the same temperature colder than which wind chill is thought to commence.\n\nAs relative humidity increases, however, first haze and ultimately thicker cloud cover must develop, reducing the amount of direct sunlight reaching the surface; thus there is an inverse relationship between maximum potential temperature and maximum potential relative humidity, therefore making, say, a simultaneous temperature of 120 °F (50 °C) and 90% relative humidity physically impossible. Because of this factor, it is believed that the highest heat-index reading actually attainable anywhere on Earth is approximately 160 °F (70 °C) in the shade that is 172 °F (78 °C) in the sun.\n\nA good example of the difference between heat index and true temperature would be comparing the climates of New Orleans, Louisiana and Bakersfield, California. New Orleans has lower heat temperatures due to being closer to the Gulf of Mexico, yet the city has a higher heat index because it is a humid heat. Likewise, while Bakersfield actually has hotter daytime temperatures, Bakersfield has a dry heat, so it doesn't feel as hot.\n\nSometimes the heat index and the wind chill factor are denoted collectively by the single terms "apparent temperature" or "relative outdoor temperature".\n\nA typical measurement in the United Kingdom in the hottest areas in the hottest type of weather generally has temperatures that can get above about 90 °F (32 °C) in the shade with 50% humidity which on the humidex chart is 104 °F (40 °C) in the shade and 119 °F (48 °C) in the sun. You should note that humidex and heat indexes are taken in the shade and not the sun; so extra care must be taken while in the sun! For the record, temperatures reached 101.3 °F (38.5 °C) in Kent in mid August 2003 which is the national record; assuming that this was 50% humidity; it would have a humidex of 126 °F (52 °C) in the shade and 140 °F (60 °C) in the sun. Of course in such extreme heat, the likelihood is that the humidity fell and the humidex was not quite that high.\n\nWARNING - Add approximately 15 °F (8 °C) to the heat index for measurements in direct sunshine.\n \nEffects of the heat index (shade values)\nFahrenheit Celsius Notes \n80–90 °F 27–32 °C Caution — fatigue is possible with prolonged exposure and activity \n90–105 °F 32–41 °C Extreme caution — sunstroke, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are possible \n105–130 °F 41–54 °C Danger — sunstroke, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is possible \nover 130 °F over 54 °C Extreme danger —

I'm guessing that you live in the Bradenton area, judging from your previous question. I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Right now is our late spring and now going into early summer. The humidity will get higher in May and the temperature will hang around 90 everyday, and that'll bring on the rainy season starting between late May and late June. It's just plain 'ol hot, humid, with lots of rain and sunshine all mixed together between June and October. If you're outside, you'll pray for a little seabreeze, which won't help much, but anything is better than 92-95 degrees, 70% humidity, and little wind. Bradenton has lots of afternoon thunderstorms in the summer (due to the seabreeze), so that'll cool things down in the evening. Oh, and welcome to hurricane alley.

My Opinion about that date is simple.....JUST...\n\nANOTHER HOT "A s s" 100+ degree DAY..... in TEXAS!

I live in texas and we have a joke here - which goes- Don't like the weather? Hang around a day it will change. We have it all drought,with 50 mile an hour wind storms,Rain, with heavy humidity. The one constant is usually heat, and I use the word usually very loosley. Just because it is 32 at 8am does not mean it won't be 75 by 3pm

Try looking online with your local weather station if that dont work try going to www.weather.com and check there but your local tv stations should have the weather for that day archived.

I reside in Dallas, Texas and you just never know. For instance today it is going to be a high of 88 degrees..tomorrow 74 and Sat only 66 and windy. Its normally mild here and sometimes windy..but we do have nice warm sunshiny days. I would prepare for chilly weather but not Artic or freezing...

Houston is very close to the Gulf.  As a result, the weather is very humid and it rains quite a bit.  The weather can be nice but not in the summer.  It's very hot and very humid.  The zoning is not ideal, meaning that you can have a residential area but then very close by could be farms, industrial sites or what have you.  There are parts that are very nice but those are more costly.   No there aren't a lot of palm trees and I think it's because it can freeze in the winter or flood easily.  There may be some but I didn't see them when I lived there.  Also, since hurricane Katrina, a lot of the victims were transported to Houston and as a result, the crime rate has risen and there's a bit of unemployment.  It's cheaper to buy a house but the property tax makes up for it.  The traffic is one of the worst in the country with Los Angeles being the worst.

Beautiful. It is 70 degrees and a little cloudy. Lucky, we don't get alot of rain in Texas. I like it when it's cold and rainy and your sitting inside a Starbuck drinking a nice late'.....mmmm

This national weather service website should give you some interesting statistics to work with. Good luck.\nhttp://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/regional_monitoring/3-month-archive.shtml
