Final weekend of July should look and feel like it

Summary by The Austin Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Kristen Currie, KXAN-NBC · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Both days will be seasonably hot, but still technically below the 98º normal high for this time of year in Austin. -- Nick Bannin

Why this matters in The Austin

As the final weekend of July approaches, Austin residents can expect the heat to be seasonably intense, though still slightly below the normal high for this time of year. This respite, however small, may be welcome news for those who have been dealing with the ongoing Gulf hurricane and flooding risks that come with living in the greater Austin metro area. With the city's own local government and the Austin Independent School District serving the community, residents can stay informed about any potential weather-related issues through local channels. The fact that temperatures will remain below the 98º normal high may also bring some relief to outdoor events and activities that are a staple of Austin's vibrant cultural scene. As the summer months continue, Austinites will be keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, hoping for a continuation of this slightly milder trend.
