Current Conditions and Humidity
It is currently Wednesday this afternoon in Sherman, Texas, where the air feels muggy despite the moderate temperature. The current air temperature is 89F, but the heat index makes it feel like 94F. This sensation is driven by a dew point of 70F and relative humidity at 53%.
The sky is currently cloudy, with winds blowing from the south at 8 mph and gusting to 10 mph. Residents should be aware that the combination of heat and moisture can make outdoor activities feel more strenuous than the thermometer suggests.
