Think It’s Rained A Lot?

August 20, 2012

If you think it’s been wet lately, you would be correct, according to the National Weather Service in Mobile.  The area has seen quite a bit of rainfall over the past 90 days, seen on the graphic above.

Over the last 90 days, there has been 15-20 inches of rainfall across northern Escambia County, 20-25 inches in the central part of the county, and from 30 to 40 inches across the southern part of the county.

The higher rainfall totals seen on the map across northern Florida were due to Tropical Storm Debby.

    Some of this rain could hobble westward as the Southwest and Northwest really need it much more than we do.

    Actually, I’d be interested in seeing how much we still need to be back to normal. Are we still under a drought condition? I know the crops have been loving the rain.

    What is average for our area? 30 inches of rain in 90 days seems excessive. But then again, maybe thats normal?
