If you've spent any time in Houston and the surrounding area this spring and early summer, there's a good chance you've had the opportunity to canoe down a street or were in fear of your car getting flooded.

That's because southeast Texas has been getting pounded with nonstop rain. Houston got so much rain, in fact, that April 14 to June 12 were the 60 wettest days on record for the Bayou City.

According to Alaskan climatologist Brian Brettschneider, Houston received 33.7 inches of rain in the past 60 days.

The highest previous 60-day total was in 1990, when 30 inches of rainfall was recorded.

According to Eric Berger and Matt Lanza at Space City Weather, Houstonians should be getting some relief from the flooding soon.

"If you're sick of the flooding, I've got good news," Berger posted Monday. "It's done for awhile. But if you're familiar with Houston summers, you probably realize that's a mixed blessing."

We'll still have to deal with hot weather and high humidity. Check Chron.com/weather for up-to-date information on Houston weather.
