It’s about time.

The weather in San Antonio is finally maintaining a temperature below the triple digits. Hey, the low 90s° is something we can celebrate.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released its newest seasonal climate outlook — here’s what the next three months may look like in the Alamo City.

Probability for a warmer, wetter fall

The NOAA forecasts slightly higher chances — between 33% and 40% — of warmer temperatures this October, November, and December.

During that time frame, the researchers also predict higher precipitation than average.

The much-needed rain may help combat the drought still plaguing Central Texas. As of most recent data, most of Bexar County is currently under Stage 2 water restrictions. NOAA predicts the drought will remain, but improve, by the end of December.

As a refresher, here’s what fall months typically look like in San Antonio:

An early look at winter

Although it is subject to change, NOAA also released predictions for the winter months. Researchers forecast mostly average temperatures through February, with higher-than-average precipitation.

Recovering from the hottest summer in history

This summer was the hottest on record in San Antonio, with:
  • An average temperature of 88.7º at San Antonio International Airport
  • August was the hottest month ever in Alamo City.
We hope we’re not jinxing it, but it looks like we may be done with the 100º days until 2024.

International Coffee Day is on Sunday and here’s a fun fact about me: This time last year I was hanging up my green apron after five years of working at Starbucks. Yes, I will answer the question you’re thinking of, “What’s your favorite Starbucks drink?”

Blonde white chocolate mocha with oat milk and no whip cream — perfect for any day.
