80% of Texas in drought, a hot and dry February, and El Niño coming

February has been a February for the record books. San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas logged their warmest February on record this year, with Houston seeing its second-warmest Valentine’s month. San Antonio saw highs up to 95 °F. South Texas saw triple-digit heat, including a preliminary 106 °F reading at Falcon Dam, which would be the highest U.S. winter (Dec–Feb) temperature ever recorded if confirmed.
