Reason for asking is my dad and I are planning a trip the last week of July making water our number one concern. I’m hoping it’s not coming earlier meaning a drier July/August.

For some reason I was under the impression that the rainy season was July/August. It looks like June has gotten its fair share of rain. Obviously there’s no way of knowing what it will be like later, but do y’all think this is likely to be a long rainy season or is this typically when it starts?

There is variation from year to year, but the climatology data suggests the rainy season commences in June and doesn't end until October.

So far pretty much right on the average rainfall for the year.

The weekend will be a bit cooler as some kind of Pacific tropical system appears likely to send some moisture into Texas.
Sounds like good news of possible rain this weekend! :great:

I think NWS would disagree.

Here's the rain profiles for the last 10 summers for the Chisos Basin weather station.
Richard that is so cool, thanks for posting that. It is eerie how consistently it starts about now in June.

The North American Southwest monsoon is very regular.Most of the moisture that enters the BiBend is transported from the Pacific/Gulf of California.

Forgive the maudlin. I celebrate the summer rain as much as anyone, but first thing I saw when I opened the post was Richard's picture. I was reminded of his ever-helpful presence. It's going to take awhile to get over it.......

Here's the Panther Junction rain profiles. 2011 and earlier seems to be missing a lot of precip data, so I only platted back to 2012.
This is a perfect example of the lengths to which Richard went to be helpful. To have searched and posted someone else's work would have been great enough, but he platted the data for 7 years and created those graphs!

Thing is he enjoyed doing things like that. Yes, he was geeky that way! But he wasn't totally left brained. He was also a good musician and singer.

Rain in the Chisos Basin this morning. I drove into the rain as I climbed the Basin Road.

Camping in the Basin this week. Going to poke around some in the basin and the higher Chisos. Maybe the lower desert where it can be short and sweat. I have a long list. Got me a trekking umbrella I might need to try out...

The Ranger at PJ said we should find water in the Chisos. The only admonition we received was to “watch out for bears”!
We’ll start out early in the morning and plan 3 nights in the Chisos. I’ll post a water report Friday evening.

My son and I arrived here about 2:30. Big pool of standing water at the entrance to PJ. Observed some water in the washes during the drive in.
