While not as bad statewide as in 2011, Southeast Texas is bone dry and getting worse. The year 2011 is the benchmark for Texas drought. By the end of October, 94% of the state was in an extreme drought, and 78% was in an exceptional drought.
Exceptional droughts are classified as a once-a-generation drought, or droughts that normally occur once every 50 to 75 years. We’ve had two in Southeast Texas in the past 12 years after today’s classification.The result of hot, dry weather:
What may seem unbelievable is June 1 we were drought-free in SE Texas. We’ve not gone 48 days without measurable in Houston.An interesting note when comparing 2023 to 2011: This year, we had a great start when it came to rain. Our drought started in July. In normal summer years, we get sea breeze thunderstorms. We’ve had one or two days with a sea breeze that brought storms. This summer is not normal.The year 2011 was dry at the start of the year, so you see larger deficits.
