RDU’s wettest July was in 1931, with 12.36.”  The second wettest was July 1936, with 11.65.”

RDU didn’t open until 1943, so those were not taken at the airport. The wettest July in RDU history was in 2024 with 9.11” and I think it surpassed that mark today

Today/last night’s 0.84” has brought my 3-day storm total to 3.97” and the MTD to 12.99”

0.54" today, giving event total of 4.96".  6.67" for the week!

Assuming that's it for the week, I have received 30% of my year-to-date rainfall this past week.  It's been a dry year.

We're in the Falls watershed near Laurel Creek (a couple of miles SW of the NC50/NC98 intersection) so we drain into Falls Lake.

July to date:

 9.1" +4.1" over the last few days = 13.2"

We had 4.6" in June, so almost a foot and a half of rain for June/July.

We're on a a community well, so our water restrictions are based on the drought  intensity ratings.  We've now dropped from D4 to D3 to D2 on successive weeks. The trend is your friend :-)
