When Will Triple Digits End? September Forecast Raises Hopes in Austin


When Will Triple Digits End? September Forecast Raises Hopes in Austin

Triple-Digit Spells Continue in Austin

The city of Austin is experiencing a persistent pattern of soaring temperatures that kicked in around early August. According to the latest updates from the Climate Prediction Center, September’s forecast is likely to follow the same trend, leaving no parts of the lower 48 to have a cooler-than-normal September.

The current temperature outlook for September shows a prediction of warmer than usual conditions extending to all of Texas as well as most of the Continental United States. However, amidst the rising temperatures, there is a silver lining of optimism for Central Texas residents. September is typically considered one of the wetter months of the year, on average, and the current forecast suggests that it might stay true to that statistic this year.

Understanding the Normal Conditions

For a clearer understanding of the upcoming weather, comparing the predicted conditions can help. Here’s an outline of what is normal for Austin in September:

  • Average high on Sept. 1: 95º
  • Average high on Sept. 30: 88º
  • Average low on Sept. 1: 73º
  • Average low on Sept. 30: 66º
  • Average rainfall: 3.45″ (This stands as the fourth wettest month of the year)
  • Average number of triple-digit days: Three

Changes Expected in September

The tradition of September being the busiest month of the year for the Atlantic Basin seems to hold up this year. Through mid-August, we’ve already witnessed five named storms. This trend, combined with a series of updated hurricane forecasts, points towards an incredibly active season ahead.

The historical peak for the Atlantic Hurricane Season is on September 10, which lines up with the current patterns witnessed in Austin’s weather. In the last three decades, August 30 has come around as the usual final triple-digit day in Austin. However, this year, the high temperatures are expected to continue well into September.

The data confirms that 19 of the last 30 years have had triple-digit days continuing into September, growing more frequent over the past two decades. The recent temperature surge in Austin began on August 12 and is set to continue at least till August 23. However, residents can stay hopeful for a respite from the sweltering conditions, as some long-term models hint at a probable decrease in temperatures soon after.

In these heated times, it’s essential for everyone to take necessary precautions and stay hydrated. Central Texans can brace themselves for the heat while looking forward to the silver lining of rain, which could offer the much-needed relief from the rising temperatures. Stay tuned for further updates and forecasts.
