The weather in Round Rock and the greater Austin area is best in autumn and spring. Summers are brutal with high humidity and average high temperatures in the mid-90s in July and August.

Round Rock's downtown splash pad fills up quickly, and Austin's Juneteenth celebration draws additional crowds.
