We had the warmest May and June on record here and July is well on its way.


Agreed Porta. This has just been a brutal past 3 months across central TX. Not much rain and mostly well above normal temperatures. About as bad as it gets around here. And I too am afraid what August may bring. Ugh.

The scary thing is that I remember the summers of 2010 and 2011 lasting well into November (in Austin at least). I remember being at DKR in November sweating like a pig during those 11 am Texas games. :sun:

C'mon tropics! it seems you're our only hope.

Over on the wxinfinity forum, I’ve been saying since April that our only hope would be from the tropics.

The ugly thing about that is though, the ridge creates a weakness to our East. It's been raining a lot in the southeast US. General rule of thumb is storms and systems travel the path of least resistance. The ridge creates resistance. God forbid something forms and moves to W-Louisiana and the flow behind it would fan wildfires.

Of course none of this matters until first you get a storm and then determine what the pattern is at that time. It's just the deck is being stacked against Texas, beat a horse when it's down right? These hot years we just beg for the tropics with no absolution.

Time to rename this thread "Texas Debbie Downer Summer 2022." This is a depressing thread. Cheer up people or go on vacation or move. Texas weather is known to have horrible heat waves and droughts. Nothing new. Fortunately, when you're at the bottom of a valley, you can only go upwards. The only question is if we're at the bottom of the valley yet. I think we are close if not there already.

If we were to govern the mood of posters here, the Texas Winter threads would be barren most years. :wink:

For many areas this will be the warmest summer on record … that’s a little more extreme than the usual “It’s Texas. It’s summer. It’s hot” summer, if I may say so.

Very true Porta. I've lived in Texas since 1976. This is definitely NOT normal, even for a hot Texas Summer. Heat waves when I was a kid were not as persistent as they are now. We had days to a week or so of heat wave, then a break with a stationary front or tropical help. Now it's weeks to months of persistent relentless heat, with a day or two break, MAYBE. Definitely not the same. At least it feels that way to me.

Well I guess the bit of good news is that we typically get one of these crazy hot years per decade (1980, 1998, 2011..2022?) so get past this one and we're good until 2030s! 2022 is probably the highlight summer for 2020s.

May 1 to date cumulative average high temperature for Austin's Camp Mabry station for the last 20 years. 2022 definitely quite a bit ahead of past years on this side of the century, with the average running high for May 1 running nearly 10F above last year. There may be some relief in the form of a Gulf disturbance late next week (not the system currently marked by the NHC), but that remains to be seen.

@okmesonet — Record-setting dry weather over the last 30 days...of all the June 11-July 10 periods in the last 100 years, none have been drier than 2022's version. The previous record holder is from 1936, smack dab in the middle of the Dust Bowl. Click for embiggenation. #okwx #okmesonet

For me, the awful summer began last December. Lows in the 70s, and an average temp eleven degrees above normal...Jan-March weren't so bad, but damn....

Austin Mabry got up to 109 today briefly but quickly cooled down, again we're saved by t-storms in the area. No rain in East Austin but clouds and temps rapidly dropped ten degrees.

I just watched a giant cell over the Woodlands headed straight toward me go poof. It's it irrational to get angry? Why are cells dying as they hit I45?

CPC centers heat over Oklahoma/NTX in the next round. ENs are doing a ridge flex sometime after the 20th.

Yeah tomorrow and Wednesday we may stay in the 90s but after that it looks like a long stretch over 100. The TWC app has it still going in 2 weeks :spam:

We only average 8 and I think today was 7

Today marks 25 consecutive days without any precip at DFW and 39 consecutive without measurable precip. 30 and 44 respectively get us to Top 10.

#1 was that horrible stretch in 2000 - 55 and 84 days. 111 on Labor Day that year. Yuck.

I say "no" SoupBone! When the weather is like this, I think most of us get (at least) disappointed when we see rain nearby and it eludes our grasp. But unfortunately that is the nature of this current pattern and the pop-up showers/storms. A few get lucky and the rest of us hope tomorrow is our lucky day, as the NWS Houston forecaster put it yesterday morning in the forecast discussion they issued.
