Austin has a humid subtropical climate, which means it has long, hot summers and typically mild winters. In July and August, high temps often top out at around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity is usually only at sauna-like levels just before a rainstorm, but even when it’s not raining, the humidity rarely dips below 30 percent. Due to the consistently mild climate, allergy season lasts all year. SPRING Spring in Austin starts quite cool in March, but by May, temperatures are almost summer-like. While March and April are usually dry, May is Austin's rainiest month. Combined with the rising temperatures, this can make for some humid days. SUMMER Weather and Climate
