For the month of April, 1.91 inches of rain was reported in the San Antonio area. This is 0.51 inch less than the April historical average. Rain gauge total was 2.40 inches. The lack of rainfall created severely dry conditions, resulting in more landscape watering and less water available for plants and wildlife. The Edwards Aquifer levels ranged from 625.3-630.6 feet with an average of about 628.2 feet. April 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 60 and 80 degrees, with low and high temperatures recorded at 39 and 93 degrees, respectively. Energy costs were moderate due to milder temperatures.
