Austin’s Heat Delay Finally Ends | Austin News

Austin’s waiting for its first official 100-degree day—and it might finally arrive this Wednesday. While the air hasn’t quite hit that mark yet, the heat index has been flirting with triple digits for weeks, making it feel like summer already. A wetter spring and a weaker high-pressure system are delaying the milestone, possibly pushing it to its latest in years—since 2015. Even without the official 100, the oppressive heat has been real, with “feels like” temps soaring past 108. The break is coming: clouds and thunderstorms are expected this weekend, cooling things down to mid-90s by next week. Stay hydrated, wear light clothes, and never leave kids or pets in a car—even for a minute. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
