AUSTIN (KXAN) — What kind of weather does Austin typically see on Halloween? A high of 77°, a low of 56° and about 0.13″ of rain. But what about the extremes?
The National Weather Service has weather data for Austin dating back to the 1890s. KXAN dug through the archives to find the hottest, coldest and wettest Halloweens in history.
Camp Mabry, Austin’s official weather reporting site, has hit 90° on Halloween on two occasions, in 1997 and again in 2003.
Meanwhile, the coolest high temperature occurred in 1991, when Austin only made it to 50°. Six other Halloweens have seen highs lower than 60°.
Austin has seen a freeze on Halloween only once in history, in 1993, when low temperatures dipped to 30°. Several other years have come close, most recently in 2019, when Camp Mabry fell to 34°.
The wettest Halloween in Austin history was in 1900, when 2.8″ of rain fell on Oct. 31. The only other year to receive more than 2″ was 1940.
Four other Halloweens saw more than an inch of rain, most recently in 2013, when 1.43″ fell at Camp Mabry.
