Now, now. The 75 degree Christmas day will bring Holiday Cheer.

But yeah, you got thrown into an inferno this year. 2009 was really bad, too. Last year (El Nino) was mild, with just a few days over 100 and lots of rain. But this year is, literally, off the charts. July and August were the two hottest months of record keeping in Austin history. Which is consistent with climate models. More extremes of all kinds of heavy weather.

We will end this drought with floods, just like we always do. In 2009, we had almost a year’s worth of rain in the last four months.
