The incredible amount of rain that fell in September only continued and intesified in October 2009. This month started out with cloudy and wet days for the first half of the month. By the second half of the month, we still had inches of rain but we are able to see some perfectly clear skies a few days. Because we had so many fast moving cold fronts through our area this month, October 2009 ended .8 degrees F cooler than normal, the first cool October since 2003. Also, these fronts matched up with...

EL NINO TO THE RESCUE!

We finally had a month with not just above normal rainfall, but much above!!! With 6.35 inches, that is more than double the average rainfall of 3.00 for September. In the whole month, there were 11 days with registered rainfall. Most of this rain fell around the 10th associated with the first major cool front of the year. Then the rest fell on around the 23rd.

The month was also cooler than normal by 1.0 degrees F! This is the largest negative...

Rainfall was low again, matching June 2009's total with .45 inches.

Thats all, another boring month...

Just to let you all know, the record for triple digit degree days in San Antonio was 36 set back in 1998! We blew that one away already.

Also, remember that little weather prediction I made this past fall about this summer being dry and warm? Well, turns out I was exactly correct. However, I will admit that I did...

After the third warmest June on record, July 2009 proved itself to be one for us to remember. Not only was it the warmest July ever, but also the warmest month at 88.7 degrees F. This breaks the old hottest month on record which was August 2006 at 88.3 degrees F. There is no doubt that the summer of 2009 is the hottest one on record so far.

Rainfall continued to be calm in July 2009. Only .48 inches fell the entire month. A stark contrast to the past two Julys of 07 and 08. We are...
