Current Conditions
It is currently Thursday evening in Celina, TX, and the air feels quite heavy with moisture. The current air temperature stands at 88F, but the heat index makes it feel like 94F. This discrepancy is driven by a dew point of 72F, which indicates significant humidity in the atmosphere. While the relative humidity is at 59%, the dew point is the key indicator of the muggy conditions residents are experiencing right now.
The sky remains clear as the day winds down. Winds are blowing from the south at 15 mph, with gusts reaching up to 26 mph. These breezes provide some movement in the air, but the high dew point ensures the atmosphere retains a lot of water vapor.
