After suffering through one of the driest years on record, it looks like San Antonio is back on track when it comes to rainfall.

As of Wednesday, the Alamo City has recorded a total of 11.54 inches of rain so far this year, according to a recent data from the National Weather Service’s Austin-San Antonio offices.

That’s 0.03 inches more rain than the Alamo city had all of 2022. The average annual rainfall in San Antonio is around 30 inches, meaning that the Alamo City is on track for a normal year when it comes to precipitation.

An average weather year is welcome, considering that 2022 was the second driest year on record in San Antonio, KSAT reports.

Although the area has seen a substantial amount of precipitation during the first few months of 2023, the majority of Bexar County remains under a moderate drought, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Bexar County also still remains under Stage 2 water restrictions.
