After a warm and humid weekend, Galveston is gearing up for a shift to cooler temperatures starting Tuesday.

After a brief period of cooler air late last week, temperatures in Galveston rose significantly on Saturday and Sunday, resulting in a balmy weekend for residents. Although Friday's weather was agreeable, humidity and heat returned over the weekend, making outdoor activities slightly more difficult.
The good news is that milder weather is imminent. One final day of warmth is anticipated on Monday; however, temperatures are expected to decrease beginning on Tuesday, resulting in more comfortable conditions throughout the region. As the cooler air settles in for the remainder of the week, locals may wish to have a lightweight jacket on hand, even if the temperature is not sufficiently chilly to warrant heavy coats.
The weekend was a divided bag for fishing enthusiasts. The warmer waters resulted in satisfactory captures, particularly for anglers who were targeting redfish and speckled trout in the vicinity of the jetties and back bays. Anglers can anticipate changes in fish behavior as the weather cools, with the potential for increased activity during the colder mornings and evenings.
Residents and visitors alike can anticipate a refreshing change with the anticipated decrease in temperatures, which makes it an ideal time to engage in outdoor activities and, of course, a little fishing.
