Austin, where it's located




The climate of Austin is subtropical, with mild winters and very hot, muggy summers.
The city is the capital city of Texas and is located on the 30th parallel, about 250 km (155 mi) away from the Gulf of Mexico.
Even in the middle of winter, there can be hot days, with highs of 25 °C (77 °F) and more. In other circumstances, it can get cold at night, and the temperature can drop below freezing. Occasionally, there may be real cold waves, which last a few days, during which the temperature can drop to -10 °C (14 °F). Snowfalls are rare. Snowfalls with slight accumulation occurred in the Christmas of 2004 and in December 2017.
In the summer, the combination of high temperature and humidity makes the heat very unpleasant. On the hottest days, it can reach and exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
From time to time, the city can be reached by the remnants of a hurricane, coming from the Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific. In general, hurricanes weaken when they penetrate inland, however, they can still bring abundant rains. The hurricane season runs from June to November, although they are more likely from August to October, with a peak in September.
The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 10.9 °C (52 °F), that of the warmest month (August) is of 29.9 °C (86 °F). In 2018, the temperature dropped to -9 °C (16 °F) in January, while it reached 43 °C (109.5 °F) in July. Here are the average temperatures.
