Texas is facing another extreme heat wave this week, with multiple days of 110-plus degree heat index values expected across much of the state. Experts' forecasts come just after a historic heat wave that shattered the Texas power grid's energy demand record and blanketed the Lone Star State with record-pushing temperatures for days on end. The National Weather Service's Houston and Galveston Office has issued a heat advisory in effect through Wednesday evening, covering most of both east and southeast Texas: per NWS, Houston and a large swath of the surrounding area from Lufkin in the east, down to Victoria on the southern Gulf Coast, should expect heat index values to peak above 108 degrees both Tuesday and Wednesday.
