Temperatures in Central Texas are trending below average this week, with highs only in the 80s instead of the typical high 90s. Meteorologist Paul Yura attributes this perception shift to the extreme drought and previous hot summers, emphasizing that current temperatures are actually around the average for this time of the year.
The absence of a stationary high-pressure system like the 'heat dome' from last summer in the Austin area is allowing for more normal summer temperatures. Forecasts for the area do not predict a return to this high-pressure system pattern. Rain and thunderstorms are expected this week, offering hope for some relief to local lake levels, still only half full due to severe droughts in recent years.
