DroughtThe long summer drought continued across Texas in September along with the hot temperatures.  At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, 84 consecutive days with no measurable rainfall were recorded before the streak was finally broken on September 23rd. However, a meager .17 of an inch of rain was recorded the whole month at DFW, which was over 3 inches (3.22) below normal, and brought the yearly deficit to 4.69 inches.  Also, it was the fourth driest September for DFW (the 3 drier Septembers occurred in 1984 (.09), 1921 (.11) and 1939 (.12))  Waco received a bit more rain, 1.11 inches, but was still almost 2 ½ (2.41) below normal for the month.  Most locations across the state experienced similar fates, which only seemed to prolong the long hot summer.  Drought  relief began in October, with more widespread rainfall.
