Austin Swelters Under Overcast Skies with Brief Rain Chance

Residents of Austin experienced hot and humid conditions with overcast skies and a slight rain chance on Saturday afternoon, September 6, 2025. Temperatures peaked at 97°F before dipping to 73°F overnight, as a weak disturbance lingered over Central Texas.

The combination of tropical moisture and a nearby frontal boundary kept humidity high and clouds overhead, prompting a 10 percent chance of isolated light showers. The conditions underscored the city’s lingering late-summer heat and muggy air.

With winds averaging 8 mph from the southeast, the day felt warmer than the thermometer reading, exacerbating the sultry atmosphere. Although the overcast skies provided intermittent relief from direct sun, residents were advised to remain hydrated and limit outdoor exertion during peak afternoon hours.

The National Weather Service noted that moisture from the Gulf would diminish through the weekend, leading to gradually lower humidity and fewer clouds by Monday. However, daytime highs are expected to stay above 90°F through midweek, maintaining typical September warmth in Central Texas.
