Re: Central Texas always this hot?

Hot? It's not hot. You want hot, wait until it's 105 like it's been some times. 100+ for 3 weeks in a row is when things really start to dry out. (Think - "last year".)

April and, especially, May are usually rainy. Then, about the 2nd week of June it quits and won't start again until late September, unless we get some tropical stuff blow through.

I've been in Round Rock for 28 years, and 12 before that in Clear Lake City (between Houston and Galveston).

This has not been a hot year. It has been unusually dry - we normally get more rain - but not hot.

Most years central Texas sits under a high pressure dome fed by the jet stream starting from mid summer through September or so. This keeps away any tropical or gulf moisture that might come inland. Usually there are a few breaks in the high pressure pattern as the summer goes along, but not really this year and the tropics have been quiet anyway.

We also haven't had a really cold winter in a few years either. We really need a good hard freeze to kill some of the insect population.

The highest temperature I've ever seen at my house (heavily wooded) since I started logging in 1999 is 106F and the lowest 26F (that may not be reliable). I saw 114F in 1999 on I-35 near the old Mueller airport.

From memory I think McSummation is right - May is the wettest month of the year (normally) and April is second wettest.
