Texas Climate Report: June 2007

June 2007 picked up where May left off across much of the state. A series of upper level disturbances moved over Texas and pulled abundant tropical moisture off the Gulf of Mexico. This set the stage for prolonged periods of excessive rainfall, particularly across portions of North Texas and the Hill Country, causing widespread flash flooding. Numerous creeks and rivers spilled over their banks resulting in extensive property damage to homes and businesses. The rain did not let up at the end of the month. The rainy pattern shifted to portions of southeast Texas and continued into the beginning of July.

For the month, only six of the first order stations recorded below average rainfall totals. Dallas/Fort Worth recorded over 11 inches of rain, more than twice the average monthly rainfall. A record 2.54" fell on the 27th. Waco recorded 8.76" for the month, including 3.37" on the 17th. While Austin officially received 5.41" for the month, numerous locations across the hill country saw much higher amounts resulting in the widespread flooding events. The only regions of the state that saw below average rainfall were Amarillo, El Paso, and portions of southeast Texas and the Coastal Bend. While Houston recorded 16 precipitation days, only 3.07" of rain fell, a little more than half the monthly average. Overall it was a wet month across almost the entire state with most stations recording above average rainfall.

The heavy rainfall and extensive cloud cover helped prolonged excessive heat. 14 of the first-order stations recorded below average mean temperatures for the month. West Texas recorded the largest departures from average. Abilene, Amarillo, Del Rio, and Lubbock were all 2°F cooler than normal for the month. Stations experiencing above average temperatures were generally confined to southeast Texas, although Dallas/Fort Worth was above average as well.
