It last rained October 1st here. We normally average 9 days with rain in October.

This was the worst October ever here in Texas. The high was above 90 almost every day, and not a single drop of rain for the entire month, when it’s usually our fall rainy season.

“Only Alaska and Kentucky did not have at least moderate drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, a record in the monitor’s history.”
