March Ends As One Of The 'Wettest' March On Record

[srainhoutx]

The latest drought update suggests that almost half of the Lone Star State is not experiencing any drought conditions. That is a remarkable improvement since this long term drought began in 2008 and firmly took hold across virtually all of Texas dating back to 2010. We all remember how bad the drought was back in 2011 when wild fires were sweeping across the State.

Beautiful day! I recommend having lunch or supper outside.

March ends as one of the top 15 'wettest' March on record for the top tier reporting stations for SE Texas. The abundant rainfall ended the drought conditions for all of SE Texas except Jackson County, but even there we have seen improvement in the multi year drought conditions that began way back in 2008 and became severe in 2010 across our Region. With a weak El Nino pattern continuing to unfold, additional areas of Texas may well see continued improvement in the rainfall pattern. All in all our late Fall and Winter months brought beneficial rainfall across most of the Lone Star State into Louisiana.
