Heat Alerts for the Region
Austin, San Antonio, Del Rio, and San Marcos will consistently see temperatures in the mid-90s this week.
Hill Country areas may be a degree or two cooler, but still above normal for mid-September.
With little cloud cover and minimal rainfall, outdoor workers and event planners should take extra precautions.
Staying Safe in Prolonged Heat
With hot and dry weather continuing, local officials recommend the following precautions:
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Avoid peak heat hours (1–5 p.m.): Limit time outdoors, especially for kids, seniors, and pets.
Use sun protection: Wear hats, sunscreen, and lightweight clothing.
Check on vulnerable neighbors: Make sure elderly or at-risk individuals have access to cool environments.
Looking Ahead: No Cold Front in Sight
The extended forecast suggests this warm pattern could linger into late September. A stronger cold front would be needed to bring widespread relief in the form of rain or cooler temperatures—but no significant systems are on the horizon at this time.
