Yeah can't remember a dry pattern like this in a long time ...now been going on for a year with my station receiving 31.65" rain in the past 12 months which is a 17" deficit!
August here on si finished up as tied for 5th coolest in 49 years and coolest since 2000. Met summer rain of 7.72" is 5th driest. August rain of just 1.65".
Since September 1st to today, have received around 30" of rain...that's around 15" below normal for that period. That's the driest I've ever seen for almost a twelve month period.
