Good morning, Kyle! As the sun rises over Hays County on this bright Wednesday, June 18, the city is buzzing with summertime energy. Yesterday saw temperatures soaring to the upper 90s, a classic Texas scorcher, with just a whisper of a breeze to keep things bearable. If you have seasonal allergies, you probably felt it—pollen counts remain moderately high, especially from grasses and ragweed, so keep those tissues and allergy meds handy. Air quality, however, has been holding steady in the “good” range, a welcome relief for anyone planning outdoor activities or a morning jog along Plum Creek.

On the sports front, Kyle High’s summer baseball squad delivered a clutch win last night, edging out Buda 6-5 in extra innings. The crowd was treated to a nail-biter finish when sophomore pitcher Luis Ramos, called in to close the ninth, struck out two in a row to seal the victory. The Lady Rebels soccer team, meanwhile, dominated their summer league matchup against San Marcos, securing a decisive 3-0 shutout. Shout-out to goalkeeper Emma Tran for a string of highlight-reel saves.

Looking ahead, the Kyle Housing Authority meeting is on deck for this evening at 5:30 pm. It’s your chance to hear the latest on local developments and have your voice heard on important community matters.

While many locals are still chatting about last month’s vibrant Kyle Fair at Lake Kyle Park—complete with food competitions, live music, and carnival rides—there’s been no Guinness World Record attempt this year. City officials say they’ll plan another “Gathering of the Kyles” for a future date, so if your name is Kyle, keep your calendar ready for the next shot at history.

For now, enjoy the sunshine, cheer on our athletes, and don’t forget to hydrate—it’s going to be another hot one in Kyle.
