If you live here in DFW, you know that this past month of September was hot and dry. But in fact, it was a record setter. Of the 30 days in the month, 29 were above normal, and 23 were 95 degrees or hotter. Only one day all month was below normal. That is because Tropical Storm Imelda moved up through east Texas. While it produced 20 to 30 inches of rain there, DFW saw only a sprinkle; not even enough to measure. But the cloud cover kept our high to just 82 on September 19.
