Here Comes the Rain

...again. Normally, I wouldn't blog about the weather because that's dangerous close to the world of inanities that includes what I had for lunch or what flavor of floss I decided to use today (cinnamon? Thrilling). However, the weather in Dallas has been fairly unusual as of late... and I got one (albeit obvious) 80s pop reference in there, so we should be good.

We're one week away from July. Usually that means only one thing in Texas: dry and hot. Instead, we've got another week of rain in the forecast and highs just barely starting to crack 90. Our precipitation MTD/YTD stands at 6.53/27.51 compared to normal values of 2.83/18.51 (all in inches of course). Now, I'm no meteorologist, but that strikes me as rather unusual. I don't recall a time in recent memory that we weren't facing drought conditions in the summer. Granted, we've still got time left to dry up, but we're having an awfully wet start to the dry months.

Of course, now that I've written this, it's unbelievably obvious that it is of little general interest. So we're getting unusually high rain during an unusually mild June here... big deal. I could try to extract some relevance out of it by going off on global climate change or something, but I'd much rather try to come up with another 80s reference to end this on a high note.

It's the end of the world as we know it... (double prizer)
