Good info. Thanks for that.

As old as Europe is, records only go back to 1961??

Finally got grazed by a storm that moved just to my north. .20". More nickels than dimes, but it has rained 4 straight days. .71" total during that span. Enough to green things up a bit.

I've got some pics you can use for your profile.

I just had 2 to my south in the past hour. Now one to my north that might get you.

Shocker. Storms passing to my south and my north.

One last chance to salvage this "event" tomorrow before we bake again.

It may be, and probably still won't rain.

It was never in doubt.

.12" I wonder how many more years it will be before I actually get hit with a storm that delivers meaningful rain.

Yes, about a 1/4 mile.

It wasn't much of anything. Razor-thin and blew thru very quickly. Came together better just east of 81 like usual.

I got .20"

As usual, puts me in the middle of nothing.

Got a whopping .19".

Not a drop

.27". Another dud, as usual.

I made that post earlier from the 2nd batch of rain this afternoon that went around us. There was a 3rd batch a while ago that dropped .5" finally. Better than nothing.

And couldn't even record a trace.

Sprinkles inbound. I wonder if I will get to record a trace.

Continuation of the summer theme. Same winners and losers over and over again.

Yesterday's .93" helped, but was hardly anything notable. Unless we get at least one more significant rain I will still end up with another month below 2" total precip. It got me wondering how often this has happened recently, so I went back through the records for the last 2 years and checked: 2026 JUL: 1.80 (to date) JUN: 1.59 MAY: 3.70 APR: 1.49 MAR: 1.62 FEB: 1.70 JAN: .71 2025 DEC: .99 NOV: .83 OCT: 1.86 SEP: 1.60 AUG: .68 JUL: 4.05 JUN: 4.40 MAY: 12.04 APR: 1.77 MAR: 1.74 FEB: 1.20 JAN: .49 2024 DEC: 2.74 NOV: 1.00 OCT: .50 SEP: 3.38 AUG: 10.08 JUL: 1.46 JUN: .82 Unreal. I knew it was bad, but this puts this drought in perspective. 8 months out of the last 25 have been 1" or below 18 of the last 25 months have been below 2". We had 9 straight months below 2" (Apr '26 - Aug '25) and in that stretch had 3 straight months below 1". 10 of the past 11 months have been below 2". And we had another stretch of 6 out of 7 (Apr '25 - Oct '24) in this stretch. And if the rest of July fails, we add another below 2" month to these stats. WTF happened in May '25 and Aug '24?? What a ridiculous anomoly. 37% of our total rain the past 25 months fell in those two months. Without that, this place would be uninhabitable.

Ended up with .93".

It finally stormed after an hour of drizzle. Decent storm but only .73".

Unreal. Congratulations.
