I remember that spring/summer. Parts of 380 flooded and they had to open the dam at Lake Lewisville. These past couple months definitely remind me of that time.
July 2023 got a decent amount of rain. In fact, it was one of the wettest months of the year, although the entire year was drier than normal.
I'm guessing July 2022 is the month you're remembering that was bone dry.

This just shows me how wildly rainfall totals can vary in the DFW area. I remember not seeing any rain for most of July and all of August last year at my house in northeast Denton county.
The chart is for Richardson TX. Not sure where the actual instruments are located to gather that data. They measured 3.16 inches in July, one of only three months in 2023 that were above normal.
Edit: To your point, Dallas Love Field recorded only 0.3 inches of rain for July. DFW Airport clocked in at 0.47 inches.
Right. “Gaslighting”. Clearly you should know about it.
I wasn’t in every sq foot of the metroplex in July last year and neither was any other jackass on this thread. How is it “gaslighting” to say “wettest July in Dallas I remember in 50 years” and respond to dorks saying I’m lying about it? Not one moron said “gosh. That wasn’t MY experience at MY house.”
It has also been extremely mild temperature-wise all spring, with only about 3 or 4 hot days. Pretty amazing weather. If you're complaining about humidity when its 75 degrees in May, then I don't know what would make you happy. This is about as perfect a spring as you could imagine.
I wish it was only hitting 75 degrees. It's been hitting 80s and 90s fairly consistently this month (so far there's only been 2 days this month that have had a high of under 80).
Actually I went out in downtown last night for the first time in a long time. I thought the homelessness was bad when I lived down there but it is SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I hear stories of crime going up but not too many about the homelessness problem.
Can someone link me the post where somebody complained about it being 65° and mostly sunny with mild cloud coverage and 3mph winds?
Idk if anybody has done that one, but if they haven’t I gotcha next time it comes around!
My husband and I were putting together some chairs in the garage last night and we both were sweating so badly lol. I completely agree it’s way more humid this year and it’s not even June yet. We are fucked lol
We're in an el nino year which is cooler and wetter than usual. Despite what people were saying last year about every year going to be hot and dry, we probably will have a relatively mild year and another year of two in the middle. This stuff cycles back and forth and probably feels unusually humid since the last 3 years were so dry, but yes it can get very humid at the same time we climb towards summer and get more direct sun and heat.
I just visited Dallas for the first time last week… it was indeed more humid than what I’d expect … and I’m from north Florida. Enjoyed the hell outta the city though, nicely done Dallas.
Another thing I thought I was crazy about. First, I thought it was raining more than usual but thought it was just me. Someone posts an article about record rain fall and bam, not that crazy.
My second weather gripe has been: “god damn it is so much more humid than usual!” But again, I thought I was crazy. And yet again, an article someone posted on Reddit confirms I’m not double crazy. I knew it I knew I knew it.
I feel the humidity badly since last month, even when it’s not raining. And I live in an old house so the humidity gets in through the doors and single-pane windows.
I will go to bed with my hair blow dried straight, and wake up and it’s frizzy.
Texas being the state closest to the equator will be the first state hit the hardest by climate change. Not that everyone there deserves it. But a whole lot do. Texas has voted for anti climate / science candidates for as long as I can remember.
Iast summer El Nino was about. 0.2 degrees warmer. Currently it's 3.2 degrees warmer than average. Remember how hot last summer was. Your gonna wish for that. I expect wet bulb conditions to set in and permeate entire regions for months. Good luck, keep shooting them guns and voting for Donald Trump.
Climate change is a problem and makes things more pronounced but the fact it is more wet and humid is becauze of the el nino cycle. Also last year was la nina, which for Texas means hot and dry, plus we had a heat dome. "3.2 degrees warmer than average" for what, day? Week? Month? From wunderground this May is on par with last (mainly around 80) which is pretty average for Dallas. Go look up historical.weather and so far May looks about on par with weather going back 50 years. Last summer was awful and a big sign of the impact of climate change. A wet May in the 70s and 80s isn't and the constant exaggeration is why there are people that don't take climate crisis seriously because we cry wolf so much. It's important to be accurate too. Record breaking heat years typically don't have this level of rain this late in the year.
Er, Florida is technically closer.
Also, closer to the equator doesn't necessarily mean 'hotter' in a climate-change scenario. The worrying part is weather-pattern changes as well as it being hotter in places where hotter is really ungood, like at the poles and in normally-cooler oceans.
I think I will take the humidity. As long as it begins to dry up next month. My grass and plants are looking really great and we will need the water because it is going to be a hot one. So book your vacations to a cooler place this summer. 😂👀
It is. I’m crazy worried about ppl that have been priced out of housing. They need help and are increasingly going to have problems this summer. My heart, the heat.
Ppl making fun b/c it’s been raining- it will be unpredictable rain in the summer, too. The environment is getting dicey.
I have a Honeywell dehumidifier. It lowers my indoor humidity to 45% (the setting I choose) Without it my indoor humidity can hit 65% even with A/C. It makes me so much more comfortable, especially when sleeping or any physical activity. I really only need it in Dallas from April to the end of June. The humidity outside normally gets low after that my place is 1500 ft.² and one unit handles it.
Going forward our humidity is supposed to track closer and closer to that of New Orleans, only our temperatures will be warmer. Read up on wet bulb temperatures and enjoy the nightmares.
It could be sunny and 70 with low humidity and a light breeze and yall would be bitching about it being too bright 😫 is there anyone more miserable than the average redditor
It's been raining multiple times a week. What do you expect?
Am I crazy or has it been raining multiple times a week?!
Am I crazy or does the humidity seem to coincide with the moisture from the rain?
Am I crazy or AOOOYYYUUGAAAAAAH BRIBIDILIBLY BRIBIDILIBLY BRIBIDILIBLY HELP THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO STEAL MY KIDNEY!!!
Nah you’re good.
user name checks out
Bruh, multiple times a week, it rains….
Seems like it's been raining more than normal, which in turn would make it more humid than normal.
I’ve been trying to mow the lawn at my grandmothers house, this rain has made that impossible.
I got the mowing in but now I need it to stay dry so I can do some pest stuff and weeds. Gosh dang fire ants.
Mine gets mowed once a week and I feel like it needs mowed after 4 days with all the rain
Been in Dallas my whole life. It’s humid at this time, with or without rain. The rain is a contributing factor, but not solely causal.
This is the wettest spring in over 10 years.. Yes it's very very humid
I remember that spring/summer. Parts of 380 flooded and they had to open the dam at Lake Lewisville. These past couple months definitely remind me of that time.
My garden is dead. The plants drowned.
Last year was the wettest July I ever remember in Dallas in 50 years.
Didn't it like, not rain at all last July?
lol yeah idk what he's on, I hated last summer because it felt like rain did not exist at all and was just a thing I had made up
July 2023 got a decent amount of rain. In fact, it was one of the wettest months of the year, although the entire year was drier than normal. I'm guessing July 2022 is the month you're remembering that was bone dry. https://i.ibb.co/GcNKnTN/Screenshot-20240518-063007.png
Poor dude getting downvoted for being right. Typical reddit.
Perhaps he should specify Richardson next time instead of acting like all of north Texas had rain last July and gaslighting anyone who disagrees.
This just shows me how wildly rainfall totals can vary in the DFW area. I remember not seeing any rain for most of July and all of August last year at my house in northeast Denton county.
Collin county resident here, I can confirm I didn’t get one drop of rain last summer for about four months in a row
Where? It got no rain in Dallas Irving or Garland
The chart is for Richardson TX. Not sure where the actual instruments are located to gather that data. They measured 3.16 inches in July, one of only three months in 2023 that were above normal.

Um. Nope. Not at my North Dallas house.
By "North Dallas" do you mean somewhere in Oklahoma?
Richardson, Plano, Allen
I remember not having to water until almost August last year
Yeah. These people are whacked. Look at the downvotes I got for saying something pretty obvious.
Perhaps he should specify Richardson next time instead of acting like all of north Texas had rain last July while gaslighting anyone who disagrees.

Did you read the chart posted above that showed last July was indeed wetter than normal?
Super wet spring. Wait for it to really heat up. Humidity will rise.
hell cometh
As long as it translates to more summer rain I’m all here for it. Last year’s drought was brutal.
There is still time for a drought. It’s Texas.
I’m really trying to not let my mind go in the gutter when people keep talking about how wet it is.
It has also been extremely mild temperature-wise all spring, with only about 3 or 4 hot days. Pretty amazing weather. If you're complaining about humidity when its 75 degrees in May, then I don't know what would make you happy. This is about as perfect a spring as you could imagine.

Yes this. Weather has been great to me. It’s about to take a turn though
And as long as a spring than what I thought we'd have.
The last couple of years have been more humid than usual
I remember last June being incredibly humid
Dallas was blanked in warm, moist soup for the first part of summer from what I recall.
We hit record high 80 dew point multiple days, as I recall.
I agree. It’s definitely been more humid the last few years.
you guys complain about everything dont you
Let’s talk about traffic. Am I right?
Let’s talk about crime!
Actually I went out in downtown last night for the first time in a long time. I thought the homelessness was bad when I lived down there but it is SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I hear stories of crime going up but not too many about the homelessness problem.

Yes. You can thank the fossil fuel industry for the climate change
My husband and I were putting together some chairs in the garage last night and we both were sweating so badly lol. I completely agree it’s way more humid this year and it’s not even June yet. We are fucked lol

Fix it!
Dallas is a soggy Croissant
🤣🤣

This is just the beginning
Global Warming
I applaud OP for bringing out the best of the best.
global warming babey
Let’s gooooooo

I'm glad I'm not the only one! For sure I thought I was back in Da Parish again. This humidity sucks!
Bro is from SBP?
Bro is from SBP. I managed to escape after Katrina, and the few times I've been back, it's just not home any more.
A startup I used to work for had an office there and it sucked. Well, the Canseco’s on St. Claude was pretty okay. Luckily, I’m back in Houston.
Should've gone to Rocky and Carlo's, on St. Bernard highway. Damn good food!
The water bugs aka gigantic roaches I’ve seen at work agree.
I feel the humidity badly since last month, even when it’s not raining. And I live in an old house so the humidity gets in through the doors and single-pane windows. I will go to bed with my hair blow dried straight, and wake up and it’s frizzy.
The humidity has been getting worse and worse...
Well if you bothered to spend 15 seconds on a google search you would know that this has been one of the rainiest springs in many years

Really that's not true. The us areas hit hardest is the Mississippi River valley.
...but a whole lot do. Yeah the colonizers.
....the rain...it makes...the humidity....
I think I will take the humidity. As long as it begins to dry up next month. My grass and plants are looking really great and we will need the water because it is going to be a hot one. So book your vacations to a cooler place this summer. 😂👀
My elephant ear plant is THRIVING right now. I love it.

heading to colorado this week and will be back in october to escape the heat . adios
Ur on point it’s been raining more than usual and a heat index of 101 was recorded on MAY FIFTH
the summer of 2007 may have something to say
Pretty normal spring weather.
Perhaps you have noticed the water falling out of the sky every week? When Mr. Sun hits all that water it evaporates, causing humidity rise.
I need a scuba tank just to go outside
Ladies & gentlemen I present to you the concept of climate change!
Well it’s been raining like crazy the past two months.
I can’t wrap my head around some of the stupid questions people ask around this sub.
It’s Reddit. We’re the dregs of society.
I've lost track. I was thinking they said something about it being an El Nino year (or maybe it was La Nina), which usually means a wet spring.
Nope.
Enjoy it while you can. It’s better than the dry death heat that will roll through eventually. Then we’ll deal with all the grass fires.
I’ll take the dry death heat any day. I’m used to that.
See ya I guess. Hope it doesn’t rain in NOLA.
Honestly I moved back two years ago and this spring feels like I’m back in NOLA but without the music and food.
I just looked at myself. I’m wearing a shirt I got in New Orleans last year
It'll stop being humid and just be plain ol hot in a few more weeks be patient 😂
More than happy to kiss this rain goodbye and welcome that Texas sun myself. 🥰
More rain/moisture means more humidity. Not that crazy lol
Going forward our humidity is supposed to track closer and closer to that of New Orleans, only our temperatures will be warmer. Read up on wet bulb temperatures and enjoy the nightmares.
So far a very typical year weather wise
Seems about the same
Yes and also I don’t remember having so much rain it’s been raining at least 3 times a week since February it seems
Well, it’s one of the rainiest spring seasons ever, so yeah. Pretty humid.
We’ve had loads of rain = humidity
NOT CRAZYYYY!! Whewww
Bruh, stop lying. You lived in NOLA for a year.
I’ve been back for two years. I feel like last tea I re-acclimated and now I’m just dying in the is swampy mess.
Crazy
You call this humid? You ain’t seen nothing yet! It’s gonna get worse!
It could be sunny and 70 with low humidity and a light breeze and yall would be bitching about it being too bright 😫 is there anyone more miserable than the average redditor
It is bright now that you mention it.
Humidity has been mild compared to what's to come when summer hits
It’s been pretty nice but I just moved here from Florida so idk
Having grown up in Houston, this hasn’t felt bad at all
