For December we got 0.13 and the average is 2.65, and in November we only got 0.59 inches of rain while the average is 4.57 inches. So for the last 3 months, we have only gotten 0.75 inches out of the 10.12 average!

Same thing for us. Highs have been sitting over us and humidity has been very low. When cold fronts come around...there is'nt enough moisture for rain to fall. Today we were suppose to have 5o% chance of rain but, not a single drop has fallen from the sky.

Here are the drought readings as of Jan.27th (updated every week.)

The Drought has been absolutely terrible in the San Antonio-Austin area. I can go on and on listing the impacts here, which I'll do in later time in this thread. But here's a better map outlining the drought in Texas:
