New to Dallas… where’s all the spring rain I was warned about?

I’ve always heard that spring in Dallas is supposed to be pretty stormy, like frequent rain, random thunderstorms, etc. But so far it feels way drier than I expected.

I’m relatively new here, so I don’t know if I just had the wrong impression or if this year is actually unusual. I was kind of expecting that classic “sunny one minute, storming the next” pattern, but it hasn’t really shown up yet.

Is there usually a point in the spring where it starts picking up more consistently? Like April/May? Or is it just kind of hit or miss year to year?

Curious what people who’ve been here longer have seen.
