We are so happy that Forbes has finally made public one thing we have always known – Austin is a great city to spend time outdoors. Thanks to a mix of mild weather and plentiful park land, lakes and springs, residents in metro Austin can look to their backyards almost year-round in order to spend a day outside. Based on a Forbes.com report, Austin is the #11 Best City for Outdoors based on the following:
- Park land as percentage of city land: 16.5 %
- Average annual sunny days: 60%
- Average total inches of snowfall: 1
- Days with temps 90 degrees or higher: 109
- Days with temps 32 degrees or lower: 60
- Days with measurable precipitation: 78
- Days with unhealthy air quality: 10
