AUSTIN (KXAN) — We’re just two and a half weeks away from the final average freeze of the season in Austin.
How many freezes this season?
Officially at Austin’s Camp Mabry, the city has seen seven freezes since Nov. 1. Most of the freezes this winter came last week, when temperatures were below freezing for several days in a row, including some record lows.
When is the last freeze of the season?
February 15 is the final intermediate freeze date of the season in Austin at Camp Mabry. This is the 30-year average from 1991 to 2020.
The last final freeze of the season
Over the past few years, our most recent freezes spanned from mid-February to mid-March, and all of them came in later than average, except for 2024.
When were the last freezes in Austin’s history?
If we look at records in Austin dating back to the late 1800s, the last freeze of the cold months came in late March and early April.
Several more freezes to come. The extended view…
Over the next week, we have ~4 more additional freezes in our forecast for Austin through Monday.
Looking beyond our 7-day forecast indicates near-normal temperatures for the first and second weeks of February. Remember, normal near this time of year indicates at least an occasional freeze.
However, with much of February exceeding the range of our most reliable computer models, it is too early to rule out additional freezes just yet.
