Is it just me or does it seem like it rains every day between 5-7pm? (Raleigh: green, figure)

Definitely a fluke. I've experienced many more dry/drought summers than I have ones like this.
Subtopical climates of the southeastern U.S. will get summer showers almost every day, starting in July, going to about September. This is routine in the coastal plain of South Carolina, and it seems to happen in the Wilmington area to some degree; it may be less common in Raleigh, I don't know. Either way I would not call it a fluke.
Sounds good to me. Like I said, I am not complaining. It's just that over my past four years here this is the first summer I remember getting these regular summer showers. I like it and my yard likes it too. I'm glad it isn't a fluke.
Sounds like normal summer storms to me. I have only been here a few months, but in Va it would rain between 5-7 pm every day like clock work. Big storm, chance of hail , every afternoon.

I wonder if the person who claimed it was a fluke is another of those who's lived here 3-4 years and claim they know everything there is to know about the area.
I love the rain, but it gets old. I'm on the top floor at work so we can hear the rain on the roof. Once it starts half the building either groans or sighs. My yard is loving it!
