The worst of the Saharan dust in Houston looks likely late Sunday into Monday , with some forecasts saying the thickest plume could move through around Monday, June 29. It may start showing up as early as Sunday, but the heaviest haze and lowest air quality appear to be early next week.

What to expect

• Sunday: dust begins moving into Texas and Houston may start to look hazier.

• Late Sunday to early Monday: dust reaches the Houston area.

• Monday: likely the worst period, when the thickest part of the plume could pass through.

• Later in the week: conditions should gradually improve as the plume moves on.

Why it matters

Saharan dust is common in Houston during the summer, especially in June, July, and August , and it can worsen air quality and irritate allergies or asthma. People with breathing issues are usually advised to limit outdoor exposure when the haze is thickest.

Practical read

If you’re planning anything outdoors, the safest bet is to assume Monday is the roughest day , with Sunday evening into Monday morning already turning hazy. Mornings and nights are often a bit better than midday when heat and dust can combine.

TL;DR

Houston’s worst Saharan dust is expected late Sunday through Monday , with Monday, June 29 looking like the peak period.
