Heatwave Breaks for Meteor Shower | Austin News

Austin’s sweltering heatwave shows no signs of breaking, with triple-digit temps dominating nearly every day this month — the longest stretch of 100-degree days in two years. But there’s a twist: drier air from West Texas is rolling in, slashing humidity and clearing skies just in time for the dazzling Perseid meteor shower peaking Wednesday night. While highs will still climb into the upper 90s to low 100s — with heat indexes hitting 105+ — this dry spell could make stargazing a real treat. And while a wetter pattern may loom later in the month, right now, it’s all about staying cool and hydrated under the blazing sun.
