Still no 100 degree day in Groesbeck
The total rainfall in Groesbeck for September 2021 was 0.3 inches making the total for the year, so far, is 34.16 inches. It was one of the driest September rain totals ever. There has still not been a day in 2021 where the temperature reached 100 degrees or higher in Groesbeck. Very rare for this part of Texas. The chances of hitting that 100-degree day this calendar year are very slim at this point. According to Public Works Director Keith Tilley records, it has been 16 years since that happened here.
