Austin has a humid subtropical climate with very hot summers and mild winters. At Austin Camp Mabry, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 63°F (17°C) in Jan to 98°F (37°C) in Aug. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 36.3 inches (921 mm) per year.
Spring brings severe weather risk and Hill Country flash flooding. Summer is brutally hot; 100°F+ days from June through September are common. Fall is the most pleasant season. Winter ice storms occur every few years and can shut down the region, as the Austin area has minimal cold-weather infrastructure.
Austin sits in 'Flash Flood Alley,' a stretch of Central Texas along the Balcones Escarpment that is among the most flash-flood-prone areas in the country. Thin Hill Country soils over limestone absorb very little, and steep terrain funnels runoff into creeks fast. How much rain it takes to produce dangerous flooding depends on where it falls, how saturated the ground already is, and how long the storms sit over the same basin, which is why local flash flood guidance and official alerts matter more here than any single rainfall total.
Local Planning Guide
Austin needs the most attention during spring severe-weather and flooding season, summer heat, and rare but disruptive winter ice.
Hill Country rain can turn creeks deadly fast, so radar motion and flood alerts matter more than a daily rain chance around Austin.
