SAN ANTONIO – Another month down, another to go. As spring continues, we have seen many weather patterns.
May temperatures
- Coldest morning: 56°F
- Warmest afternoon: 103°F
Out of the 31 days of the month, 19 were spent above average, with four days having record-breaking heat and three days exceeding 100 degrees.
May precipitation
We started the month in a drought, and sadly, we are finishing it in a drought as well. Although it began quietly, the month ended with a bang!
We experienced multiple days and rounds of showers and thunderstorms in the Alamo City, which created flooding issues, hailstorms and just about the much-needed rainfall for many.

Although we saw almost six inches of rain, most of the recent rainfall is not included in the updated drought monitor. We started the month with very little rainfall, which set the stage for worsened drought and water restrictions for the aquifer.
Looking ahead to June and summer
As we kick off the summer months, the weather in San Antonio will warm up noticeably. While we have already experienced triple-digit heat, we can expect even more in June, according to the summer outlook.
