Summer

From parks and pools to musicals and museums, Austin offers a lot of ways for you to entertain your kids this summer without breaking the bank.

The Texas grid will be more reliant on renewables than ever, according to a recent state assessment. Texas regulators don't like that.

A Texas river expert says river flows across the state this summer are headed into the record books for being among the lowest ever, especially if rain does not fall soon.

Though the Parks and Recreation Department has offered more pay and up to $1,250 in bonuses, the city has less than a third of the 750 lifeguards it needs to open all of its pools.

While summer 2021 was not much cooler on average in Austin, it had a notable number of rainy days.

Registration, which usually occurs in February, was pushed back to assess the effects of the pandemic locally. Officials said this gave the department more time to plan summer programming with health and safety precautions in mind.
