“With a statewide average of 21.2 inches of precipitation and average temperature of 66.5°F, 2022 was the second driest and seventh warmest year for Texas since 2000. From a statewide perspective, 2022 was the worst drought year since 2011—but not worse than 2011 when there was only 14.7 inches of precipitation.”
