April does little to help drought

Following the 2022 trend, April didn’t bring enough showers to bring May flowers.

For the fifth consecutive month, less than one inch of precipitation fell at Boerne Stage Field, continuing to worsen drought conditions in Kendall County. According to the National Weather Service Office in New Braunfels, the location that keeps track of weather in this area, 0.91 inches of rain was recorded, or only 36 percent of the 2.52 inches that normally falls during the fourth month of the year.

And, that total comes on the heels of the 0.57, 0.78 and 0.39 inches that accumulated in January, February and March, respectively. Last December, 0.36 inches was recorded.
