Climate in Austin

Austin experiences all four seasons in a year, albeit in a muted capacity compared to what Canadian tourists are likely used to. Summers are typically hot, with daytime highs often exceeding 32°C. Humidity tends to vary depending on the shifting air flow patterns in the atmosphere. It’s quite common for one day to feel very muggy, and the next feel much more fresh.

Winter months tend to be mild, although short bursts of cold can come in from the north to bring in below freezing temperatures. Winter daytime averages typically float between 10°C and 20°C.

Spring and Fall act as transition months between the two extremes. Precipitation in Austin is fairly consistent at about 60mm per thirty day cycle, however it tends to rain more during Spring and Fall. May, early June and August are the rainiest months.

It’s debated whether Austin sits within the confines of Tornado Alley. Regardless, damaging winds, thunderstorms, and flash floods can occur during any season.
