Texas A&M Professor and State Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon explains what Texans can expect to see as this year’s sweltering summer draws to a close.

The state climatologist says a La Niña weather pattern is expected to hold through fall and winter, which means below average precipitation and above-average temperatures.

The same La Niña conditions that helped usher in an exceptionally hot and dry summer are also setting the stage for increased hurricane activity — but those storms won’t bring the kind of rain Texans have been hoping for.

A series of 100-degree days have created worsening conditions for livestock and crop producers across the state, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agents report.

In 2022, firefighters have responded to 5,047 wildfires that have burned 527,241 acres across the state.

“It would not surprise me if this summer ended up being the second-hottest summer on record for the state,” says state climatologist and Texas A&M professor John Nielsen-Gammon.
