Recent rains and flooding has Texans asking how unusual this weather pattern is and when will it end?
DALLAS — If you’ve thought we’ve been getting a lot more rain than usual for July, you wouldn’t be wrong.
July is typically the driest month of the year, with DFW averaging 2.08 for the entire month. We have already seen 1.52″ of rain at DFW this month, and we’re only halfway through! At 1.52″, that puts us .36″ above normal, so far. Here’s a breakdown of the rain we have seen so far this year.
Rainfall across the metroplex so far this month
You can see a big difference in rainfall at DFW Airport versus the rest of the metroplex. Guess what? No one lives at the airport! But that’s what officially goes down in the record books.
Is it record-setting rainfall?
Here’s a list of the top eight rainiest Julys on record. You can tell that we are nowhere near the wettest! We still have several days to go, but that much rain is not in the forecast as of now.
How much more rain are we expecting?
The recent rainfall has caused some flooding and even flash flooding across North Texas. Fortunately for all of Texas, a ridge of high pressure will be building overhead this week, helping to shut off our rain chances for now.
