Hobby (KHOU)

William P. Hobby Airport (KHOU)
The highest hourly reading on NOAA's page for the station, in whole degrees, on the local calendar day.
Highest hourly reading so far at William P. Hobby Airport (KHOU): 74°F at 2:53 AM. The line is each hourly report, the reports Polymarket's rules count; the stripes are its ranges.

| Rule | Kalshi | Polymarket |
|---|---|---|
| What counts as the high | The day's official high for the station, as The Weather Company publishes it for Kalshi (weather.com/kalshi) for events from Aug 14, 2026. It has matched the NWS climate report's official high on 1,587 of 1,588 settled days, and that high counts a peak between hourly reports. | The highest reading in the "Temp" column of NOAA's time-series page for the station, using its hourly data, in whole degrees. A peak between two readings isn't in that column, so it can come out lower than the official high. |
| The day | Midnight to midnight local standard time, so 1 AM to 1 AM while clocks are on daylight time. | Every time listed on that day on NOAA's page, which shows the station's local clock time. |
| The ranges | Two-degree brackets, with an open bracket at each end. Where the brackets start moves from day to day (61°–62° one day, 62°–63° another). | Two-degree ranges that start on an even number (62°–63°), with an open range at each end. |
| When it settles | After the final report for the day is out, usually the next morning. | Once the first reading of the next day is on NOAA's page, or by 11:59 PM Eastern the next day. If NOAA has no data by then, the Weather Underground daily observations table is used. |
