What to pack

What August feels like

The peak of the Austin year for heat, and the city runs on drought talk and water restrictions to match. Nights barely cool off, so even the early run is sticky, and anyone who can leave town for a while does.

Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Most afternoons push past 90°.
