San Antonio Storm & Flood Events

Measures: individual severe-weather reports (flood, wind, hail, tornado) filed with NOAA. Geography: Bexar County and its bordering counties — 8 counties with reports in this window. Coverage: events recorded between August 2025 and July 2026. Checked on each ingestion run; NOAA publishes storm reports on a lag of several months.

How often does San Antonio flood?

NOAA recorded 93 flood events across the eight-county San Antonio area between August 2025 and July 2026 — 68% of all severe-weather events logged in that window. Each one appears in the table on this page with its date and county. Flash flooding is the most frequently recorded severe-weather event in this area, more common than hail or tornadoes.

What kind of severe weather does San Antonio get?

In this reporting window the record breaks down as 93 flood events, 27 wind events, 11 hail events and 6 tornado events. That mix matters for a homeowner: flooding and wind drive different maintenance priorities — drainage, grading and tree work — than a hail-dominated record would.

Which San Antonio counties get the most severe weather?

Bexar County recorded the most events (57) in this window, followed by Bandera County (22) and Comal County (19). Storm reports are filed at county level, so a county's total reflects both real activity and how often events there were observed and reported.

Has San Antonio had hail large enough to damage a roof?

Yes — 7 of the 11 hail reports in this window measured 1.0 inch or larger, the size at which asphalt shingles typically begin to bruise. That threshold is an industry rule of thumb applied to the NOAA figures, not a measurement, and a county-level report does not confirm damage to any specific roof.

Does San Antonio get tornadoes?

NOAA recorded 6 tornadoes in the San Antonio area between August 2025 and July 2026, against 137 severe-weather events overall. Tornadoes are the least frequently recorded event type in this window; 43 of the 137 total events fell in July 2026 alone.

Methodology

Source: NOAA Storm Events Database, filtered to Bexar County and its bordering counties (Bandera, Medina, Atascosa, Wilson, Guadalupe, Comal and Kendall). Records are re-fetched on each ingestion run and merged by NOAA's own event identifier, so corrections republished by NOAA update in place rather than duplicating. Observations are append-only: if a scheduled update fails, the last known-good values are preserved and marked stale with the date they were last confirmed, rather than being shown as zero or blank.
