This week’s 5.48 inches of rain nearly matched the output from the first four months of 2025 combined.
SAN ANTONIO — As if the sights of flooded roadways and sounds of booming thunder didn’t make it obvious enough, this was a soggy week in the San Antonio region.
In fact, we’re finishing off the soggiest stretch of the year so far in the Alamo City. According to the National Weather Service, San Antonio International Airport officially recorded 5.48 inches of rain since Monday—an amount that nearly matches the 5.61 inches that fell through the first four months of 2025 combined.
The downpours were sorely needed for Bexar County, which has been in Exceptional Drought – the U.S. Drought Monitor’s most severe classification – since mid-March.
Proving just how dry the region is, this week’s earliest showers weren’t enough to make a dent in that drought status (the report releases every Tuesday, so we’re likely to see a more distinct improvement next week).
Wednesday morning’s storms proved to be the high-water point when 2.05 inches fell in San Antonio – making for the wettest day of the month and the year so far – and some found out the hard way.
But Bexar County is a big area, and some neighborhoods received much more than the airport, especially homeowners on the north and northwest sides of town.
Take a look below to see how much certain parts of the San Antonio metro received since Monday.
