New to Dallas… where’s all the spring rain I was warned about?
Posted by DFWUnhinged@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 21 comments
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.

Well for March we are in a relatively long period without rain. We surpassed our median for March, but it all fell at the beginning of the month. Generally in spring, it rains about every 10 days. It's been longer than that.

It's still early, and some years can be dry. Last two have been very rainy though. It's glorious!

The only consistency of Dallas weather is that it’s inconsistent

People are pretending like it’s normal, get used to ignoring science if you’re gonna live here!

Not sure where you heard that but usually Dallas springs are basically just a slow ramp to a hot humid summer starting in May. If we do get rain and bad weather, typically it’s in April.

Texas weather is unpredictable. The longer you're here, the more you'll realize it. You just can't make plans around how weather is supposed to be.

Weather is all a crapshoot now anyways. But it is raining for 6 straight days next week followed by more rain. It doesn't rain often but when it does it really does rain and storm a lot. Expect hail. But we do want more spring rain because that generally leads to cooler summers.

We've had a couple of good storms in March but there are more in the forecast soon. They'll be here in a few days.

Storm season hasn’t really started yet… I’d say peak storm season is April into May as a native north Texan
