Austin Energy and Austin Water officials said teams have been weatherizing equipment, and testing and prepping backup generators.

Cold snaps brought fall foliage to Austin in 2018 and 2022, but an expert says it's been too hot and dry for the leaves change this year.

Cool mornings and pleasant afternoons are expected. We may even get some rain.

In fact, this October was so hot that, looking back at the historical data, a quarter of all Septembers in Austin have been cooler than this recent October.

According to the study of more than 1,000 cities, 30% of cities get less rain than surrounding areas, perhaps supporting the idea of a so-called "rain dome" over Austin.

As climate change accelerates, Austin's hot, dry summer will likely continue further into the fall.

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.
