About this data
These are NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals for the Dripping Springs 6 E station (ID USC00412585), elevation 330 m (about 1,084 ft), about 14 miles south of the middle of our Lake Travis listing pins. NOAA computed the high-temperature normal from 28 years of data, the low from 29 and precipitation from 30; its completeness flags for these values are S ("S" standard, "R" representative, as defined in NOAA's documentation). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast: any given week can be much warmer, colder, wetter or drier.
Packing notes from the numbers
- Average lows are between 33°F and 45°F in January, February and December, so a jacket is useful after dark.
- Average highs reach 90°F or more in June, July and August. Pack sun protection and plan for heat in the middle of the day.
- Average precipitation is 4 inches or more in May. A rain jacket or umbrella is worth packing.

Before you book a Lake Travis rental
- For June, July, August and September, when average highs are 85°F or more, confirm the rental has air conditioning in the bedrooms, not just the living area.
- For May, read the cancellation and weather policy before you book, and plan an indoor backup for rainy days.
- Check a current forecast from the National Weather Service (weather.gov) a few days before you travel; normals do not replace a forecast.
