Ok,
So there was a big thunderstorm that passed through early this afternoon.
Sometimes these downpours are all sound and fury and no real rain accumulation.
Not so this time!
We got 0.98" here, and given our equipment, I'd call that an inch of rain!
Let's give this some context here.
The national weather service tracks precipitation, and as far as I am concerned 0.01" of rain is an interesting technical note, but one thousandth of an inch isn't real rainfall. If it is less than 0.01" but detectable they call it "T" or "trace" amounts. Definitely not really rainfall in my book. So if you discount those readings (on 7/1, 6/29, 6/28, 6/27, 6/25, & 6/24) it was last a real rainfall on June 23rd with 0.22", which in itself is not a huge amount, but it is rain.
So, that is two weeks and two days with no rain!
If you are then obsessed and go back further you get to June 17th with a whopper of a rainstorm at 0.03"!
or perhaps the 16th with the massive 0.07" of rainfall.
And by that point you are looking at having had very little rainfall in almost a month. I can't go back any further than that easily as the National Weather Service records online peter out at that point.
All of which brings us back to the title of the post:
"Rain Alleluia!!"
