– All summer, Houston weather has felt like Groundhog Day -- with every day a repeat of the last.
For nearly four months, Houston saw the same forecast daily -- high temperatures between 95-105° with a 0% chance for rain. On Tuesday, it totally changed. We have widespread showers and storms, and the rain chances actually increase as we head into the next two days. And this rainfall is very beneficial, as our months of hot and dry weather led to a flash drought across parts of Texas. I’m sure you’ve noticed our grass is brown.“Houston Public Works asks the public to please do your part in helping us reduce citywide water use,” Houston Public Works Director, Carol Haddock“Our goal is to reduce water usage from all customers by 10%.
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the Houston area will need at least 18.20″ inches of rain in a 30-day span to end the drought. Of course, we do not want all of this rain all at once. Our ground is very dry, which means we are more susceptible to flooding.Southeast Texas is the region across the state that needs the most rainfall to escape the drought.
