Summary
Austin’s first 100-degree day this year came on July 8 — later than usual, but not unusual in the grand scheme. Over the past 25 years, 18 times we hit triple digits before July even began, a stark contrast to the pre-2000 era when July or August was more typical. While some years saw no 100-degree days at all, the trend has been toward earlier heatwaves — now 72% of recent years see those scorchers in May or June. This year’s delay? A lucky break thanks to clouds and rain. El Niño and La Niña don’t reliably predict when the heat arrives — sometimes they bring early heat, sometimes not. So while this year’s cool stretch might feel like a reprieve, don’t count on cooler summers — those 100-degree days could return in May or June next year, or sooner.
