Weather forecast for today
On Wednesday, in Abilene, the morning will be cloudy, but expect sunshine as the day progresses. With a low probability, light precipitation is predicted for today. The anticipated temperature range extends from a high of a hot 91.4°F to a low of a delightful 71.6°F. The maximum heat index, which combines air temperature and relative humidity, is evaluated at a sizzling 100.4°F. Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit degrees. The day's peak of 91.4°F reflects September's seasonal pattern more than October's. Sunrise was at 7:42 am and sunset will be at 7:07 pm; the daylight will last for 11h and 25min.
