August has been one of the driest months on record for North Texas.
As of Sunday, Aug. 30, the region has not recorded any measurable rainfall in 46 days, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth. This stretch is tied with 1974 as the 10th longest streak without any measurable precipitation, which is any rainfall at least 0.01 inch and higher.
There are a few spots across the region that saw rain last week, but the NWS’ official climate site at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport only measured trace amounts, which is any quantity below 0.01 inch.
