Here’s how many 100º days Austin saw in 2024

Spoiler alert, there were far fewer 100º days in 2024 than 2023. Get your final guesses ready, because we’re not expecting any more to hit this year.

At the beginning of the summer, we asked our readers to guess how many days over 100º Austin would have this year. Since we’re (hopefully) comfortably out of triple-digit territory, we’re ready to share who was closest.

Summer 2024 was a relatively mild one in Austin, counting 32 days over 100º, according to data from Camp Mabry. For context, summer 2023 saw 80 triple-digit days, which amounts to 22% of the year.

Austin officially hit 100º for the first time on Thursday, June 27 this year. The most recent triple-digit day was on Sunday, Oct. 13. The hottest day of the year was on Wednesday, Aug. 21, measuring 109º.

Readers Tana T. and Nathan F. were closest, guessing 31 days. Congrats, y’all.

It’s possible we’ll see another 100º day this year, but it’s unlikely. The last triple-digit day of the year typically happens no later than October 2, except this year.
