SAN โฃANTONIO – San Antonio is experiencingโ its wettest year sinceโ 2021, with rainfall totals exceeding those โofโค the previous three years combined. As of โคSeptember 1, โthe city has recordedโข over 20 inches of rain, a meaningful increase from the exceptionally dry conditions of 2022, which saw only 11.5 inches throughout the โขentire year.
The surge in precipitationโ offers a criticalโ reprieve forโฃ a โregion long gripped by drought, replenishing vital reservoirsโ and easing concerns over โขwater resources. The increasedโ rainfall benefits residents through greener landscapes โand cooler temperatures, while also impacting local agriculture and ecosystems.โ Forecasters indicate the potentialโข for continued rainfall through the fall months, suggesting San Antonio coudl further improve its annual precipitation ranking. The last โขtime the city surpassed current rainfall levels was inโฃ 2021, when 34.61 โขinches were recordedโฃ by year’s end.โข
This year’s substantial rainfall isโฃ attributed to a consistent pattern of slow-moving storms, tropical moisture, and stalled โweather fronts deliveringโ repeated heavyโ downpoursโค from spring thunderstorms through โlate summer. โWhileโ 2025’s totals haven’t โฃbroken all-time records, the shift marks aโ welcome change fromโฃ the โคprolonged dry spell that characterized recent years.
