Which Texas city has had the coolest temps this summer? Here's the breakdown.
Persistent rainfall and widespread cloud cover have kept temperatures significantly cooler than expected across much of the state.
Since the start of meteorological summer on June 1, most of Texas has recorded slightly below-average temperatures. Of the state's 22 metropolitan areas with a population of at least 100,000, 18 have recorded cooler-than-normal conditions.
That included San Antonio, which has had an average high temp of 92.4 degrees this summer — 1.6 degrees below average.
What's the coolest spot in the state, though? That honor belongs to Amarillo, which has recorded an average high temperature of 87.3 degrees. However, that's really no surprise, due to Amarillo's northern position in the Texas Panhandle.
The more unexpected standout is San Angelo, which is located in the Concho Valley. The city has recorded an average high temperature of just 90.6 degrees so far this summer, an impressive 4.8 degrees below average. That's the most below-average of any city in Texas this summer. Amarillo comes in second, followed by Wichita Falls and Waco.
The only Texas metro areas which have recorded above average-temperatures this summer are Brownsville, Houston, Corpus Christi and El Paso.
Central Texas weather forecast for the upcoming week
High pressure will shift slightly to the west, resulting in temperatures rising slightly higher across Central and South Texas.
The hottest days of the week are expected to be Tuesday through Thursday. Austin is likely to reach the upper 90s each day. Low temperatures will stay consistent, falling into the mid- to upper 70s each morning.
Long-range weather models are showing a low chance of tropical development in the Gulf by the late week. This could bring a chance of scattered showers and storms into South Texas by next weekend.
Uncertainty is still very high with this potential Gulf disturbance, so it's definitely not time to push the alarm.

Parts of Northern Ireland saw almost full month's worth of rain in 24 hours
Parts of Northern Ireland saw more than 85% of the average July rainfall come down over a 24-hour period, according to forecasters. Warnings over rain applied to significant parts of the island of Ireland on Monday following a night of heavy downpours. The deluge resulted in localised flooding across parts of the island following a series of weather alerts on Sunday, with the unseasonably high rainfall dampening the start of the week. The weather also brought difficult travelling conditions, lightning damage and poor visibility in the worst-affected areas. The Met Office issued a yellow-level rain warning for the east coast of Northern Ireland that is due to expire at 6pm. Forecasters had warned that some areas could see half a month's worth of rain in less than a day. The region normally records an average of 89mm of rain in July but falls of between 50-75mm had been predicted over a period of just 12 to 18 hours. Killowen in Co Down recorded 68mm of rain since 5pm on Sunday, the Met Office said around 2pm on Monday – the highest amount of rainfall across the UK. It normally sees 80.75mm of rain for the whole month. Elsewhere, Murlough in Co Down saw 60mm of rain in the same period – 87% of its July average of 69mm. The Met Office said other areas likely experienced higher amounts. Meanwhile, the heavy rain brought flooding at the Marble Arch Caves, a famous tourist attraction in Co Fermanagh. A spokesperson said it had never happened before, describing the occurrence as a 'highly unusual weather event'. A couple who were part of an evacuation prompted by a rush of water said they would not be put off returning. The agency had put a 24-hour yellow-level rain warning in place for Antrim, Armagh and Down until 6pm on Monday. A more intense amber-level warning was temporarily put in place overnight but lifted early. Forecasters had warned that there was a risk that homes and businesses could be flooded. The Met Office also cautioned that some communities could be cut off by flooded roads while fast-flowing or deep floodwater could pose a danger to life. Northern Ireland saw heavy rain in the last 24 hours, with 68mm recorded at Killowen – and likely higher amounts elsewhere. The southeast also picked up some fairly large totals this morning 🌧️ Here are the rainfall totals since 5pm yesterday 👇 — Met Office (@metoffice) July 21, 2025 A yellow-level thunderstorm warning was in place for the western half of Northern Ireland between midday and 8pm on Sunday. Flooding affected routes in Fermanagh with the Marble Arch Road, Florencecourt, and Sligo Road, Enniskillen, both described as impassable by police for a time. A PSNI spokeswoman said: 'Please take care when travelling, slow down, and exercise caution on affected roads.' In the Republic of Ireland, a status orange rain warning for Dublin, Louth, Meath and Wicklow came into effect from midnight and expired at 2pm on Monday. Irish national forecasting agency Met Eireann said there was a chance of thunderstorms amid persistent and heavy rain. A less severe warning for the Kildare region also expired at 2pm. The downpours across Sunday and Monday brought localised flooding to parts of Limerick and Louth. The warnings followed other alerts about thunderstorms in the east of the country and increased rain in the south-west on Sunday.
