Texas Climate Report: May 2003
The month of May for the most part was very dry across the state of Texas. There were a few exceptions however, with Del Rio, Midland, and Wichita Falls attaining rainfall totals greater than 100% of the expected normal monthly total. All 20 first-order stations experienced above normal mean temperatures, ranging from 1.7°F to 5.1°F above normal. From the United States Drought Monitor, through the end of May, regions including High Plains, Low Rolling Plains, South Central, North Central, and Eastern experienced moderate drought, with areas of the Edwards Plateau, and Trans Pecos under severe drought conditions. The Lower Valley region of Texas is abnormally dry as well. However, the projected outlook through August 2003 shows that the majority of state should be receiving relief from drought conditions.
May was a very busy month as far as severe weather was concerned. Several days had large hail, high wind, or tornado reports. For June, temperatures are expected to be normal to slightly above normal across the state.
