WEATHERWISE DURING AUGUST 2025, SHREVEPORT RECORDED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL. IN FACT, SHREVEPORT
RANKED AS HAVING THE 20TH WARMEST AUGUST ON RECORD, WELL BEHIND THE
87.2 DEGREE TEMPERATURE OBSERVED IN 2024, AND 90.4 DEGREES SET BACK
IN 2023. THIS MONTH ALSO RANKED AS THE 12TH WETTEST AUGUST ON RECORD
AND THE WETTEST SINCE 2022 (9.91 INCHES), BUT 4.62 INCHES OF THE 5.93
CUMULATIVE MONTHLY TOTAL FELL WITHIN THE 24 HOUR PERIOD ON THE 29TH,
AND SET THE DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL RECORD FOR THE DATE, SURPASSING THE
PREVIOUS RECORD OF 3.67 INCHES SET BACK IN 1911. IT SHOULD BE NOTED
THOUGH THAT THE CUMULATIVE MONTHLY RAINFALL TOTALS VARIED CONSIDERABLY
THROUGH THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY METRO AREA, WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM
2.50 TO IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES, WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE RAIN FALLING
ON THE 29TH. DESPITE THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES DURING THE MONTH, NO
DAILY TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE SET IN SHREVEPORT. WHILE NO SEVERE WEATHER
WAS OBSERVED DURING THE MONTH, STREET FLOODING WAS REPORTED THROUGHOUT
VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN SHREVEPORT DURING THE MORNING OF THE 29TH, AS
WIDESPREAD 2-5 INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS FELL ACROSS THE CITY. HOWEVER, GIVEN
THE VERY DRY SOILS IN PLACE FROM THE EXTREME HEAT AND LACK OF RAIN THAT HAD
FALLEN SINCE LATE JULY, SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WAS NOT REPORTED.
SEVEN DAYS RECORDED TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT IN SHREVEPORT THROUGHOUT AUGUST, ONE
MORE DAY THAN WHAT IS CONSIDERED AVERAGE (6 DAYS), BASED ON THE LATEST
30 YEAR NORMALS PERIOD DATING BACK TO 1990.
FOR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMER (JUNE-JULY-AUGUST), SHREVEPORT RECORDED AN
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 85.2 DEGREES, WHICH WAS 2.3 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
THIS SUMMER TIED WITH 1954 AS THE 10TH WARMEST SUMMER ON RECORD, ONLY
0.1 DEGREES LOWER THAN THE SUMMER OF 2024 (85.3 DEGREES). IN ALL, 11 TRIPLE
DIGIT DAYS WERE OBSERVED IN SHREVEPORT THIS SUMMER, ONE BELOW THE NORMAL
NUMBER OF 100 DEGREE DAYS (12 DAYS) DURING THE 30 YEAR PERIOD DATING BACK
TO 1990. THE SUMMER OF 2025 ALSO RANKED AS THE 12TH WETTEST SUMMER IN
SHREVEPORT AT 16.45 INCHES, AND THE WETTEST SINCE 2007 WHERE 17.25 INCHES
OF RAIN WAS RECORDED (11TH WETTEST).
