| What Temperature Is It In Austin Texas |
So, how hot is it?
Hold onto your hats (or should we say, melt them), because it's a scorching 36°C (that's 96°F for our non-metric friends). But wait, it gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective). There's a Heat Advisory in effect, meaning even the locals who are practically fire-resistant by now are feeling the heat.
What does that feel like? Well, thanks to the lovely humidity, it actually feels like a delightful 41°C (106°F). So pack your swimsuit, because you're basically swimming through the air anyway.

Fun Facts About Austin's Current Weather Situation:
- Rain? You funny comedian, you! Not a drop in sight. Sunshine is the only thing gracing us with its presence (and trust us, it's not exactly a welcome guest right now).
- Wind? A gentle 14-km/h breeze is blowing from the south. But let's be honest, it's more like a hairdryer set to "low" blowing hot air all over you.
- UV Index? A whopping 8! SPF 50 sunscreen is basically chapstick at this point. Apply liberally and avoid looking directly at the sun, unless you enjoy retinas well-done.
Basically, if you're in Austin right now, stay hydrated, stay cool, and maybe consider wearing an ice vest. And if you see a lizard wearing sunglasses, don't be surprised. We all gotta cope somehow.
How to Survive the Austin Inferno: A Handy FAQ
- How to stay cool? Air conditioning is your best friend. If you don't have any, find a friend who does (and be prepared to offer eternal gratitude). Failing that, take a dip in a pool, hose yourself down, or channel your inner popsicle and stand very still in a shady spot.
- How to dress? Think light, loose, and breathable fabrics. Cotton is your friend. And maybe invest in a wide-brimmed hat. Looking fashionable is optional, staying alive is mandatory.
- How to hydrate? Water, water, water! Avoid sugary drinks and excessive caffeine, they'll dehydrate you faster. Electrolyte drinks can also be helpful. Basically, pretend you're training for a marathon that involves sweating profusely while standing still.
- How to avoid heatstroke? If you start feeling dizzy, nauseated, or have a headache, get out of the heat ASAP! Cool down your body temperature and seek medical attention if needed. Don't be a hero, heatstroke is serious business.
- How to make the most of this ridiculous situation? Embrace the absurdity! Take a funny picture of yourself sweating through your clothes. Have a popsicle-eating contest with your neighbors. Just remember, laughter is the best medicine (except maybe for actual heatstroke, in which case see question 4).
