Texas Summer 2025

[txtwister78]

Yikes! More flooding is ongoing in SC Texas this morning.That's how it is though when you've been in a constant drought for multiple years it was inevitable that it would end in floods.The atmosphere likes to balance things out sooner or later.2015 was also a year where the atmosphere balanced it self out from the multi year record breaking drought across the state in the early 2010's.The multi year drought is finally ending in SC Texas, just wish the flooding tragedy wasn't part of it.

Yup! Mentioned this on several occasions throughout this drought. Having lived here all my life, unfortunately our droughts tend to end this way and it either comes in the summer months due to tropical influence or in fall when we get early cool fronts mixing with late season tropical moisture from the pacific creating another window of higher than normal precip.

Regardless it's a scenario of too much of a good thing at a rate that areas prone to flash flooding simply cannot handle despite the drought. Feast or famine type climate.

Looks like a break from this wet pattern may be coming soon though.

Counting down the days until fall, every day is one day closer.

This for sure has been a very strange summer, some days don't even feel like it's July.

Better enjoy the rain now because the heat is building later this week

Any thoughts on what the rest of the summer looks like for North Texas? Enjoying the moderate temps, but it seems like there is always a form of payback at some point.

I've been worried about August all along honestly... Most of our longest heat waves have been in August

August is hell no matter what. That’s guaranteed.

If we can get a decent June and especially July….that’s a great summer.

Yeah August is typically the hottest and driest month for most across our region of the country.

But given that June and July have been below normal temperature wise and obviously above normal for many precip wise, hard to complain (other than the flooding obviously) considering the alternatives that we typicallysee throughout the summer.

For my area would've liked to have seen a little more rain across the SA metro however given the catastrophic flooding that likely would've come with it based on this particular pattern, careful what you wish for. I'm just hopeful that with this upcoming break to our active pattern folks to our north and west can finally breathe a little and take some time to recover.

At this point the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of a below-average number of 100 degree days, at least in DFW. The average is 20 and most years that went over that number had at least one 100 degree day by now.

Yeah we had like 30 a couple years ago. It was ridiculous

Record is still like 65 and 59! from the 1930s. Boy was that a rough decade.. no AC back then either

It's still gonna be way better than it could be for sure

58 in 1980
44 in 2011(that's the benchmark year for this decade)

[rwfromkansas]

Lake Travis still going up. Likely will end over 90 percent full.

Stunning reversal.

I love the optimism. I've lived in Dallas my entire life and have seen this one play out both ways. You get to late July without one and manage to skate through the rest of the summer relatively unscathed. See 2021 for example.

But 1999 is still burned in my brain as the ultimate fake out. 1998 was terrible - the worst year since 1980 (at the time). 56 days > 100. It started early and never seemed to let up. By comparison summer of 1999 started smoothly enough. First 100 degree day wasn't until July 23rd. "We got this. This summer is NOTHING. We're basically home free." And then we wound up with 32 more after that, including what seemed like every day in August. Once the heat started, it parked on top of us and didn't let go. That's what can happen.

Hopefully 2025 ends more like 2021 and less like 1999. Fingers crossed!

Highs expected to reach 99 and above starting tomorrow through the weekend here.As a newcomer to this part of the state.The weather nerd in me finds it crazy and fascinating that this area is able to get so hot in the Summer but also so frigidly cold in the Winter.Two extremes.That’s the crazy nature of the Plains weather for you lol.
