Texas Climate Report: May 1998
May was indeed a unique month for weather across the state. Large anomalies in both temperature and precipitation, along with the limited visibility and health warnings issued due to the haze and smoke transported into Texas from the forest fires in Mexico and Central America, made the month quite memorable, and certainly made it one for the record books. First-order stations across Texas averaged maximum, minimum and mean temperature departures of 5.9°F, 2.6°F and 4.2°F respectively. Many of these stations approached, if not eclipsed, their record monthly temperature for May. The daily temperature records which were set or tied throughout the month are included in a table. Regarding rainfall, the average percent-of-normal precipitation for the first-order stations was only 10%. Combined with the dry conditions observed in April, rainfall has been scarce throughout the entire spring.
The preliminary temperature and precipitation ranks produced by the Climate Prediction Center help to place May conditions for regions of the United States into perspective. These ranks compare this year's weather conditions to the previous conditions observed over the last 102 years, with "preliminary" meaning that the data from cooperative stations have not been incorporated into the ranking. Texas is included within a region including Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. May 1998 has been ranked as both the warmest and the driest May that this region has ever seen. For the period of March through May, preliminary methods show that this three month period in 1998 ranks as the seventh driest. Temperatures, with a rank of 66 for the season, are considered near-normal.
While the lack of precipitation during May has obvious consequences for agriculture and other dependent fields, May proved to be a prime example of showing what other consequences exist with limited rainfall. With little cloud cover, more radiation reaches the Earth's surface, causing atmospheric temperatures to be higher due to the greater amount of absorbed energy. Also, without precipitation, there is not as much soil moisture. The result is less evaporative cooling -- the energy from the solar radiation goes directly into heating the surface, and consequently the air, rather than evaporating the water. After examining these consequences of little rainfall, it is not surprising that the extremely dry conditions of May were accompanied by the extreme positive anomalies observed in the monthly temperatures.
Smoke began to enter Southern Texas on the 12th, and over the next two weeks, the entire state was affected by limited visibility and health cautions. At some locations, concentrations exceeded three times the accepted limit defined by the EPA. Yet another consequence of the dry spell unfolds. Rainfall is the most efficient remover of pollutants from the atmosphere -- without the rain, contaminants were not washed out. The lack of rainfall, persistent high pressure and a low temperature inversion all helped to trap the smoke and haze near the surface, allowing the contaminants to linger in the atmosphere for extended periods of time.
