For the month of May, 5.98 inches of rain was reported in the San Antonio area. This is 1.58 inch more than the May historical average. Rain gauge total was 6.81 inches. The lack of rainfall for three quarters of the month until late May created moderately dry conditions, resulting in more landscape watering and less water available for plants and wildlife. The Edwards Aquifer levels ranged from 623.1-633.5 feet with an average of about 627.2 feet. May historical average is 666.2 feet. Stage 3 Year Round watering restrictions remained in effect and the region is still in a five year drought. Wildfire threat was slightly lower. Average low and high temperatures were 70 and 87 degrees, with low and high temperatures recorded at 56 and 103 degrees, respectively. Energy costs were higher due to hotter temperatures.
