Gainesville worked for us. Dry in the winter, Sunny. Occasional cool temps. Palmettos, pine trees, live oaks were a good combination having grown up in eastern NC. The soil was sandy loam, so it was less muddy with fewer mosquitoes. Lower dewpoint than Tampa or South Florida. In the summer it rained nearly everyday between 2 and 4 pm, with a cool evening breeze after the storm. We only needed sprinklers occasionally during the winter.. No worries re: gardening and plants.

It’s pretty cool. 2011 and 2012 aren’t good for TX, obviously.
2012 was much better than 2011 as far as Houston's rainfall during summer. Yet not even 2011 was as bad as this year regarding June's rainfall.

That said, the year 2005 was actually similarly as dry as this year (and that June at Hobby was drier than even 2011) — but there was a remarkable turn around going into July, August, and September. So, here's hoping we pull a turnaround, such that 2022 ends up more like 2005 and 2012 rather than a 2011 repeat.
July 2012 had heavy rain and flooding. Same goes with July 2005.

Summer 2011 is an outlier from a statistical standpoint.

2012 was still bad in CLL. May - July were the 4th hottest ever. Below normal rainfall. 2011-2012 were tree killers up here.

May, June 2022. Hottest ever.

In contrast Feb - July 2021. One of the coolest 6 mo periods.

Did you know that Progreso, right on the northern Yucatan peninsula, only averages ~16 inches of rainfall annually?

True. Here's hoping that 2011 stays an outlier, and that this summer turns around more like 2005 and 2012 🥰

Gainesville is a beautiful place with an amazing climate, no doubt about that. I’d trade that for our climate in a heartbeat!!

Walked around my yard and the parts that were stressed are dead to the ground now. Parts that were a touch stronger are recovering. Gonna be a lot of weeds to contend with. One of my neighbors didn't water for two months and his entire front yard is solid brown. Amazed the HOA didn't eviscerate him.

If the recovery was just from the small half-inch that you had on Saturday, then it truly goes to show you how important the summer storms are.
