Texas Climate Report: September 2011
Texas witnessed a September that continued the trend of above-normal temperatures during 2011. It wasn’t a scorcher like the summer of 2011, but it kept the continuing drought nice and hot. Austin earned the right to call itself the warmest city during the month of September with an average mean temperature of 84.4°F. The daily maximum temperatures were above average across the state by two or more degrees. Every major station but Amarillo, Galveston, and Port Arthur reached 100+ °F at some point during September. However, the nighttime minimum temperatures were generally right at or below normal.
As of the September 27th U.S. Drought Monitor, 100% of Texas was suffering under some form of drought conditions, and over 85% of the state was designated as D4 (Exceptional Drought), the worst possible scenario. Indeed, the big story for September was the continuation of the devastating drought. A majority of the state observed only a fraction of their percent averages for rainfall, with Abilene and Austin below 10%. Waco was the only station to be above normal for its monthly rainfall 2.96 inches. A frontal system rolled through in late September that provided central and southwest Texas with some precipitation. In fact, every region of Texas received rain at some point during the month, but most stations observed five days or less of measureable precipitation.
