Local forecasts indicate a tropical disturbance could bring significant rainfall to the Houston area on Tuesday, Sept. 1, creating the potential for localized street flooding and hazardous travel conditions. UTHealth Houston is actively monitoring the weather and remains in close communication with public safety and emergency management agencies. We will provide updates through official university channels, including the UTHealth Houston Emergency website, as conditions develop.
Normal operations remain in place at this time. We encourage everyone to stay weather-aware, plan ahead, and prioritize safety. Monitor local weather forecasts, allow additional time when possible, never drive through flooded roadways, and be prepared to adjust your commute or daily activities if conditions change.
For additional guidance on staying safe during heavy rain, including tips for driving in wet conditions and avoiding flood-related hazards, please review this UT Physicians article: Tips for driving in heavy rain in Houston.
The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, patients, and visitors remain our highest priority. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and share information as needed. Please follow official UTHealth Houston communications for the latest university updates and guidance.
