| It’s no secret that Austin is full of out-of-state transplants — we just hit 1 million residents, making the city the 12th biggest in the country. Don’t worry, City Cast Austin is a safe space for you! We’re not about to tell you to stop moving here, and instead, we come bearing tips on how to deal with your first or 10th Austin summer. | | First thing to know: June is actually the best it’s going to be all summer. Savor the rainy weather we’ve been having and bask in temperatures while they remain under 100 degrees. OK, once you’ve faced that reality, here’s what else you need to know: | | Pack Like a Pro | Whether you’re a born-and-raised Texan or you just got here from the East Coast, packing for the weather is essential. Before heading out, we suggest taking a full water bottle and some sort of cooling device for wherever you’re going. Get a foldable hand fan or a handheld portable one to throw in your bag or car and pull out when it gets too hot. You’ll be thankful you have ‘em! Also, water is a no-brainer. Please drink your water! | | Become a Pool Rat | The thing about living here is that you have to become one with Austin’s pools. Springfed waters abound and if you’re not taking advantage, what are you doing? Get to Barton Springs Pool before sunrise for a free, cool swim to wake you up. Make a habit of visiting your neighborhood pool before dinner, too. You won’t even notice the heat once you become a regular! | | Mornings Are Your Friend | If you have plans to exercise, garden, sit outside with an iced coffee, or literally anything else, do it in the morning. It’s the coolest part of the day during summer and well worth waking up for. Just don’t forget to still apply your sunscreen, wear a hat, and drink lots of water. | | Lean Into It | Listen, you live here now. Just lean into it. Are you sweating through your clothes? Whatever! Would you rather wait for a table inside? Obviously! Keeping your shades closed for three months isn’t weird. It’s all part of being an Austinite. | | Good luck out there! |
