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. Particularly hot days can soar over 100 degrees. Nevertheless, summer crowds flock to the city. Round Rock's downtown splash pad fills up quickly, and Austin's Juneteenth celebration draws additional crowds.
September through November is the best time to visit the city. Average highs are around 70, creating the perfect atmosphere for strolling along the streets of downtown Round Rock or exploring the city's 34 parks.
Winters are mild in Round Rock with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s, and lows that tend to hover near the 40s. If you're looking to escape a harsher climate, you can head to Round Rock for a green Christmas that's unlikely to see any snow.
The spring season is another prime choice for enjoying comfortable weather around Round Rock. Avoid the weeks surrounding spring break and graduation week at the University of Texas at Austin and you can avoid the worst of the tourist crowds in the Austin area. Temperatures are in the 70s and 80s, offering the perfect climate for hiking, biking, or heading into Austin for events like the Star of Texas Fair and Festival in March or Austin Food + Wine Festival in April.
