Weather       Austin’s Weather Austin's weather is one of the reasons so many people come to Austin and stay! The sky is usually blue and the sun shines 300 days of the year. The prevailing breeze is from the southeast throughout the year. Hottest months: July, August, September. Coldest months: December, January and February. Average rainfall: 32 inches per year Most rainy months: Spring & Fall During the winter, "Northers" blow in and bring cold wind and freezing temperatures. But these don't last long.

Snowfall is rare, and usually results in schools closing and people taking the day off to play in the snow.         Month Average temp Humidity (%) Precipitation January 39 to 60 67 1.71" April 65 to 85 68 2.56" July 74 to 95 64 2.04" October 59 to 81 66 3.43" Source: U.S. Weather Service Todays’s weather.

“The ideal solar orientation is north facing, with the garage on the west side. You'll be able to open your rear windows to bring in a southern breeze, and sit out on the patio in the evenings. If the rear of your house faces west, you will need trees or a porch to shield the afternoon sun. In Austin, our main energy concern is cooling, rather than heating. A home with good insulation, trees and proper orientation will be a lot more enjoyable and easier to cool. We always keep a compass handy when helping our clients to select a home!” Roselind
