Live Webcams in Austin

Austin, the capital of Texas, sits on the Colorado River where the prairie meets the Hill Country, and the live webcams in Austin watch a city that has grown faster than almost any other large American city since 2010: the downtown skyline and Lady Bird Lake below it, the streets around the State Capitol, and the hills and creeks to the west. Austin keeps Central Time, UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer, so a European evening is the city's working afternoon. Some 960,000 people live in the city and 2.55 million in the metro area. From spring to autumn a large colony of Mexican free-tailed bats roosts under the Congress Avenue Bridge and pours out over Lady Bird Lake at dusk. March to May and October to November are the mild seasons; the summers are long and hot.
