What’s the weather like in Austin in June?
June definitely starts to heat up, but is more bearable than July and August in Austin. Highs are in the 90s (it may hit 100 degrees by the end of June, but it’s more likely in early July). Lows are in the 70s.
There are still chances of rain in June, though they start dropping in the second half of the month (before feeling non-existent for July and August).
