When to Go to Austin

Spring brings cool, fresh, clear weather to Austin. In March and April, when temperatures average in the 70s, short-lived wildflowers produce carpets of extravagant color. March is also the month of the popular South by Southwest Music Festival, when hotel rooms are in short supply. Summer is dry and often very hot, sometimes unpleasantly so. Summer thunderstorms are typical. Fall, when the new school year begins at the University of Texas, is another fine time to visit, with temperatures falling back into the 70s and 80s, and gorgeous foliage to be seen in many areas. Winter is generally mild.
