In the past 3 years my plants didn't do well. This year they are all flowering. My weather station doesn't have a rain gauge. It's been raining/storming so hard lately that it seems we get over 2 inches in a day. (I'm in a NE suburb.)
It's possible that there have been localized heavier amounts of precipitation, but the observations at Pittsburgh International Airport are the official observations for the city.

Seriously? Moon Township is quite a long haul from Downtown. It could be pouring down rain in East Liberty while being perfectly dry out at the airport.

Cincinnati's official observations are taken at the airport in northern Kentucky. Chicago's official observations are taken at O'Hare. Besides, it could also be pouring rain at the airport while it's dry in East Liberty. You just have to pick a spot from which to make observations, and make sure that it doesn't have the urban heat island effect to the same degree as the city proper would.

By the way, next Sunday night I will modify the temperature tally since there seems to be a discrepancy between some of the AccuWeather archives and the National Weather Service archives. For example, Chicago has not officially had a 100-degree day this summer (Chicago-O'Hare International Airport is where the city's official observations are recorded), and Indianapolis has had one, even though the AccuWeather archives don't reflect it.
As of July 31, with official National Weather Service observations...
