Kyle, Texas listeners woke up this July 5th to clear skies and a bit of disappointment. After much anticipation, city officials announced late yesterday afternoon that the annual Independence Day fireworks at La Verde Park had to be canceled due to inclement weather and saturated grounds. The city is planning a makeup show, but the wet conditions made it impossible for emergency vehicles to safely assist if needed, so safety remained the priority according to the City of Kyle. The main show had been set for 9 p.m., with live music scheduled earlier in the evening, but rainfall earlier in the week proved too much for the festivities to proceed.
As for the weather right now, it’s sunny with the temperature hovering around 31 degrees Celsius, feeling more like 34 with the humidity at 61 percent. The wind’s blowing at a noticeable 30 kilometers per hour from the southeast and there’s zero cloud cover, making this a great day to be outside if you can handle the heat reported by AQI dot in. The air quality index sits at 44, which is considered good, so those with respiratory issues can breathe a little easier today. Pollen counts are moderate, so allergy sufferers may want to keep tissues handy, but by Texas standards, the air remains quite comfortable, according to the Kyle Texas News and Info Daily podcast.
On the sports front, local high school teams took the field last night in what turned out to be close contests. The Hays High Rebels baseball team edged out San Marcos with a 5-4 win in extra innings, while the Lehman Lobos softball squad put up a good fight but fell 6-3 to Dripping Springs. Summer training camps continue at full speed, so expect to see more action as teams prep for the fall season.
In other news, Kyle’s community spirit remains strong despite the weather setback. Residents are looking forward to the rescheduled fireworks and there’s continued buzz about the rollout of high-speed internet and new small businesses opening downtown. For now, folks are enjoying mild breezes, clear skies, and a classic Hill Country summer day.
