It looks like another drought is coming at us headlong. The Texas Drought Monitor shows that most of Montgomery County is in
"Moderate Drought" and areas on the eastern side of the county is in "Severe Drought. In fact, most of the state is in a Moderate Drought Stage, with "Extreme" and "Exceptional Drought" covering the far west and south of the state. It's been nine years since the last drought (2011-2012) and we're due for one. Texas has always been plagued with periods of droughts and periods of flooding for centuries (perhaps millennia). But for the last 120 years, since records have been kept we know that there are weather patterns closely tied to La Ni
Drought coming?
Please check the Texas Drought Monitor (link below). Montgomery County, along with our surrounding counties and most of East and Central Texas are now in moderate drought stage. Certain parts of the state (West Texas, South Texas, and parts of the panhandle) are in either extreme drought or exceptional drought stage. It's been nine years since our last drought ended. For those of you who are new to our area, Texas has a history of flood years and drought years. Some climatologists are predicting that we are about due for another drought. Remember to use water wisely.
