Summer Of 2012 Was Wettest On Record
September 6, 2012
The summer of 2012 was the wettest on record for the Pensacola area , according to data released Wednesday by the National Weather Service.
The Pensacola Regional Airport, the official recording location for the county, recorded 39.19 inches of rain — nearly 15 inches above normal. That broke the old record of 37.04 inches set in 1994. The high rain totals were thanks to a June flood and rains from Debbie and Isaac.
The heavy rains also kept temperatures near normal. The average summer temperature was 81.9 degrees just above the normal of 81.5 degrees.

What is amazing is the fact it was that wet here and in Seattle they are approaching the driest record since 1951. Seattle has not had any measureable rain in something like 45 days straight. It’s almost like the weather pattern has flipped up side down.
I know it messed up my grass cutting a lot of weekends .
