Overall most folks have done well with this weeks trough/shear axis across the Region. Not bad considering what we have experienced for the last several years. I expect the drought update to be much improved across our Region and frankly will not be surprised to see a very similar pattern into next month. It is good to be back into a 'typical' Texas summertime weather regime. I had almost forgot what they were like.

Yes! Lawn is happy, plants are happy, trees are happy. It has been awhile! If my memory is correct, I think Ike changed our pattern. Our Bradford Pear tree bloomed early that year, than has not really bloomed since.
We have only received a small sprinkle today here in Stafford. Currently I can hear some activity in the background, but thus far doesn't look like it's heading this way.
In the past couple of days, we have had over 3 inches of rain in the bay area and an EF0 tornado....
exciting summer for sure.

The past June 2011, 2012, and 2013 had 100 degree days. This June has had none.
Got a really good rain/thunderstorm, yesterday. Everything is so beautiful and green! I am really appreciating this summer, after the previous few years. We were so close to the wildfires, those years, that I kept all my important papers in totes, ready to go. We also use individual water wells, here. The water tables were getting so low, it was scary. So the drought conditions were worrisome from a lot of different angles. The ONLY downside to our "almost" daily rainfall...is the grass needs cutting twice a week. When you live in the "country", we're talking a LOT of grass to cut! But, I'll take cutting grass over wildfires, everyday, all day!

June 2014 has been a delightful weather surprise. My question was would it be a wet and wild month or turn out to be high and dry. I kept "score" of the days in June that my backyard had a measurable amount of rain and those that did not. The final score is
High & dry - 20
Wet & wild - 10
My rain gauge shows a total amount of 2.95 inches, which is not as much as some received this month but I am grateful.
As Ptarmigan points out, our temps were not as hot as the past 3 years.
I guess I would call it wet and wild as it has certainly been different than what we have had in the past few years.
It has been a great weather month...on to July 2014....

I suspect the reason for those June is due to a cool PDO.
