It's been beautiful just north of SA too, don't know what they're complaining about.
Temperature wise that is...this ing never ending drought sucks though.
It beautiful in North Austin right now

I heard it was only a bunch of H1b contractors, "compliance" people, and the DEI/green department.
91 is not just beautiful. It's insufferable. I want to like move to the ing North Pole already.
The drought is good though. Better 91 and feels like 91 than 84 but feels like ing 101, which is typical of springtime in Texas, but more-so in El Nino and Neutral years but not La Nina's. Dry heat is much better. Though this La Nina was Modoki and pretty weak.
ing 97 today, though doesn't feel as bad as 97 is usually thanks to a dewpoint of only 19 degrees. Still ing hot for March though.
Felt like a normal August day to me tbh.
Maybe a normal August day in 1994. Certainly not August 2024.
Felt like a normal August or September, even early October day in California, more accurately
Lows under 60, very low humidity, dry heat approaching 100 but again next to no humidity
In 1994 (year I was born) the dry line was further west so San Antonio was more humid then than now. Springs were consistently much more stormy and nothing like this. Cooler temp wise, yes, but wetter/ more humid. Dry line is promulgating east due to global warming/ global drying.
Imagine thirty years from now when Houston starts burning and being more hot but less humid and San Antonio is officially hot arid steppe country.
IDK a normal August day for me when I lived out there was 76
Also global warming forecasts have us getting rainier due to higher temperature air being able to hold more water. It's the west that's going to have problems with drinking water and nightmare fires. We're just going to turn into a hotter version of Houston or New Orleans.
you must have lived right by the coast
I couldn't survive that kind of .
Being able to is overrated when the dry line is moving east and thus atmospheric and surface pressures will be higher.
In CA, anywhere even a few miles inland is in the 90s pretty consistently in summer and early fall.
Go far enough inland and you get into the 100s and up. I went from a pleasant 73 hiking in Santa Monica on Aug. 9th, 2021 to 110 (!) degrees in Indio, CA on the same afternoon.

Weather is wonderful.
Low humidity.
But the lack of rain and big wind makes us ripe for fire.
And Im sure the farmers and people with wells will love it if it does not rain far into the summer.
The desert moves east. Welcome to Climate Change and erratic highly variable climate and day to day weather changes.
The insurance companies have taken note. Its not pretty for buyers of property.
aside:
The off road bike trails in the "Greenway" are absolutely incredible around the city. People have done some incredible work.
As long as it does not rain, go off road in all of the city floodplane trails. Take a shower and have plant a garden in your shower with all the dust that comes off you.
Yeah, I agree with this. I don't buy baseline bum 's theory that SA is going to get more humid. It's clear that the dry line is moving east, not west. This will favor higher temps but lower humidity similar to low parts of West Texas and Arizona. Atmospheric pressure will be generally higher. We're have more and more of these windy, hot, dry days (when's the last time we've seen this in the spring? Almost every other year in March/April it's some form of sultry, sticky, humid subtropical, wet at least muggy and often foggy). The drawback to this is that it will still rain sometimes eventually and you'll get more flash flooding because the earth won't be used to absorbing moisture anymore. But most of your typical springtime storminess down here IMO will be replaced by popcorn showers more typical of the sagebrush Southwest than the Southeast or Southern Plains.
Baseline Bum thinks SA is going to turn into the next Dubai when I think it's going to turn into the next Tucson. We'll see.
One thing we can all agree on, the global warming and climate change is real.
Nah the humidity usually starts becoming the norm around in April when typical lows start sticking into the mid to high 60s, as night time low is basically the same as night time dew point from April through September. Lows in the 50s are pretty typical in March which means dew points that aren't very humid. It's the last decent month in San Antonio until October and feels like when you're a kid and can't really enjoy Sunday knowing you have school tomorrow whereas October feels like Friday right after the bell rings. Weather like Tuscon is impossible here with the strong gulf flow that keeps us humid as 7 months of the year.
Lol SA turning into Tucson? Are you talking on a permanent basis?
The gulf is losing land because the of waters rising. 200 years, SA might be beach front. Who knows.
It really nice in N Austin right now
Most October's yes, but last October felt like just another month of summer tbh.
It's sad because in childhood spring was my favorite season because of my birthday and the Spurs playoff run season, [in spite of all the warming up] but now both of those things absolutely suck tbh.
I love the allusion, but I'd offer to tweak it a bit.
The beginning of October (el octúbre where I come from) was more like Friday morning. Realistically Halloween is like the bell ringing at the end of the last class of the day, generally 8th period, in school. Because most Octobers have sporadic cool fronts at best, sometimes windy, sometimes rainy, occasionally it'll cool, sometimes hot and sultry. October 2024 had essentially zero cool downs, it was just another summer month, rivaling October's in California.
February is like Sunday day and March is like Sunday evening. April 1st is like waking up in the middle of the night Monday morning after a couple hours of sleep and insomnia and going like ugh, here we go again for the long haul.
It'll be 97 in a week here in Sun City.
29 degrees and snowing where I'm currently at right now
Brookfield, Wisconsin
High forecast 39
Driving to Grand Rapids, Michigan today where the high will also be 39
Ugh lows in the 70s tonight all through next week like it was ing June![]()
Awful looking week, glad I spent my birthday in Wisconsin. Though it's been cold and drippy with some storms here this weekend.
Looks like there is some relief for San Antonio for a few days the week starting Sunday April 6 for San Antonio, like a proper spring should be imo:
