After a July that was much cooler than in years past, Austin has plunged back into a streak of triple-digit days.

The team is part of an international project using the Games to develop tools for making hyperlocal climate predictions. UT researchers plan to apply what they learn in Austin.

Normal high temperatures are in the 90s for the Austin area during this time of the summer.

You can find all kinds of weather in Austin, from flooding rains to ice storms. But the one thing you can count on is that it's hot and getting hotter.

After two back-to-back summers of record-breaking heat, many expected more of the same. But so far, the West Coast has been the region to tangle with the "heat dome." That could change, though.

Austin is no longer in the storm's cone — the path that weather forecasters believe Beryl will probably take — and rainfall chances along the Interstate 35 corridor have lowered to 0.5-1 inch of rain.

Tropical Storm Beryl, weakened after hitting Mexico, is expected to regain strength and make landfall on the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.

It's hot. It's going to get hotter. Prepare yourselves. The heat dome could be headed this way.

Usually, Austin can expect a day or two a year when smoke in the air rises to a level deemed dangerous for some people. We've already had eight such days this year, and it's only May.

Threats also include damaging winds, frequent lightning and a possible tornado, according to the National Weather Service.
