Summer-like heat and humidity will once again be back as a warm front blows in from Gulf of Mexico, but relief isn’t far behind as a strong fall is also on its way.

By sunrise on Wednesday, the humidity will be back and temperatures will be in the mid-70s. Rain can also make an appearance though there is just a 20% chance of it happening.

The temperature is expected to climb up to 90 by afternoon as the clouds shed and the Sun makes an appearance. Isolated showers still can make an appearance, especially over north Houston.

Chances Of Rain

Chances of rainfall on Wednesday are less than 20% but will increase to 40% on Thursday and 30% on Friday as tropical storm Pamela raging in the Pacific Ocean contributes moisture.

The storm will turn into a hurricane and is expected to make landfall on Mexico’s western coast on Wednesday. By Friday evening a strong cold front is expected to move in and it is expected to usher in drier and cooler weather in southeast Texas on the weekend.

Temperatures will hit a high of 70+ while low will be in the 50s during the weekend.

The hurricane season normally is over in Texas by the middle of October but meteorologists are monitoring Pamela over the Pacific and it can bring heavy rain which can cause flooding later in the week.

Tornados Batter Oklahoma

Meanwhile, several tornados ripped through the state of Oklahoma late on Sunday and early Monday, causing damage but there were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

Heavy rain, winds, and lightning also lashed parts of Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas.

According to media reports, a tornado caused significant damage to the Tulsa suburb of Coweta, damaging houses, a school, and a gas station.

Hail as big as baseballs shattered windows and damaged vehicles in Norman, which is about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City.

The Delta variant of the coronavirus has been blamed for a disastrous summer for the United States.

It is however time to shift focus to another newly found variant of the virus – R.1. Experts are of the opinion that the R.1 variant of the coronavirus could be more likely to cause breakthrough infections.

It is however worth mentioning that the delta variant continues to be the most dominant variant of the coronavirus globally by a long way. The variant was found to be the cause of Covid-19 infections for approximately 92% of all the coronavirus sequences that were submitted from the United States to the Global Initiative for Sharing All Influenza Data.

In comparison, according to public health physician Charlene Brown, only 0.5% of the infections in the United States were because of the R.1 variant.

Delta is classified as a “variant of concern” by the CDC, which means there is data that it is more infectious, produces more deadly illnesses, and is less susceptible to immunization. Meanwhile, the FDA has not designated R.1 as a variant of interest or concern, but acknowledges in an April report that it appears to contain “mutations of importance.” According to the research, data shows that one of these changes may render the virus more communicable. According to Newsweek, another alteration might make it more immune to antibodies generated by vaccinated persons and individuals who have recently had Covid-19.

According to experts, the R.1 variant of the coronavirus is not a new phenomenon even though many of us could be hearing of it for the first time. According to Newsweek, this variant was first detected by scientists in Japan in November last year. It has now spread to other regions of the world, including 47 states in the United States.

The fact that R.1 was involved in an epidemic at a nursing facility in Kentucky in March, as detailed in the April CDC report, is perhaps the most alarming. According to Yahoo! News, eighteen of the 26 affected people and four of the twenty healthcare staff were completely vaccinated, suggesting that this variety may be more prone to result in breakthrough infections than its predecessors.

Having said that, the research also discovered that people who were unvaccinated as well as healthcare personnel were three to four times more prone to become infected compared to vaccinated individuals. The majority of hospitalizations and fatalities were among the unvaccinated.

The crux of this news report is to underscore the importance of getting vaccinated against Covid-19. Vaccination is our best defence against R.1, and indeed any other variant, according to Brown. R.1 is the latest variant of the coronavirus but it will also not be the last for certain, he added.
