That makes it the third rainiest summer when it comes to days of rainfall in the 123 years of record-keeping. This summer, Camp Mabry clocked 29 days with measurable precipitation. With 11.24 inches of rainfall recorded, this was the 23rd wettest summer in the city’s recorded history.īut the really remarkable thing about summer 2021 was the number of days it rained. White says the relative coolness has been due to wetter-than-average weather.
“So, we're well below that with only five hundred-degree days." “Last year, there were 48 hundred-degree days, and the 30-year average is now up to 26,” said National Weather Service Meteorologist Keith White. For example, we’ve only had five triple-digit days so far this year. The daytime highs have also not been as extreme as we’ve recently experienced. That's a half-degree cooler than average in terms of summer temperatures over the last 30 years. Out of the 123 years of record-keeping, this June through August was still the 38th warmest summer in terms of average temperature.īut if you look at more recent history - since global warming and urban buildout have increased city heat - this summer was slightly cooler than what we’ve come to expect.Īustin's Camp Mabry weather station recorded an average temperature of 84.6 degrees.
But, since then, things have been … kind of nice?ĭon’t get me wrong. In February, the city was hit by a winter storm and blackout that stands as one of the worst disasters in Texas history. It’s been a strange year weather-wise in Austin.
