The Houston, Texas, weather forecast for Monday, November 9, points to an overcast day with steady rain. The National Weather Service data provided by AccuWeather indicates that the sky will remain largely covered throughout the day. Residents should expect wet conditions as the city moves through a typical late-autumn pattern.
Temperatures will hold steady near the upper 50s and low 60s. The maximum temperature is projected to reach 64 degrees Fahrenheit, or 18 degrees Celsius. Nighttime lows are expected to settle at 59 degrees Fahrenheit, or 15 degrees Celsius. The perceived temperature, often called the feels-like value, will mirror the actual air temperature at both its daily peak and trough, sitting at 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rain chances will fluctuate but remain high across the 24-hour period. The probability of precipitation ranges from 49 percent to 84 percent. These figures suggest that rain is likely, if not constant, for much of the day and into the evening. Wind speeds will remain gentle, with daytime gusts peaking at 5.59 miles per hour and nighttime gusts at 4.35 miles per hour.
Daylight hours in Houston during this time of year are limited. Sunrise is scheduled for 6:41 a.m. local time. Sunset will occur at 5:29 p.m. This results in a day length of roughly 10 hours and 48 minutes. The short days coincide with the cooler temperatures typical for November in the region.
Houston’s climate generally features warm summers and mild winters. Average temperatures span from 49 degrees Fahrenheit in winter to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in summer. The city receives approximately 39 inches of rain annually. High humidity levels, driven by proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, often make the air feel warmer than the thermometer reading suggests.
While the current forecast is mild, Houston faces recurring risks from natural disasters. Hurricanes and floods are primary threats due to the city’s low-lying terrain and coastal location. Tornadoes occur less frequently but can still cause structural damage. The city’s industrial sector also influences air quality, with ozone levels rising during the warmer months.
The combination of steady rain and mild temperatures marks a standard November day in the Houston metropolitan area. The weather pattern aligns with the seasonal shift away from the intense heat and high humidity of the preceding months.
