With all the hoopla that the local media has been making about the all the supposed rain we were getting this summer....well guess what....Syracuse's official rainfall for the month of July 2009 was only 1.86 inches of rain.
Average rain for July is just over 4 inches.
That means Syracuse had less than half the average precipitation this July.
Since my yard never had the four inches of rain in June that was supposedly recorded at the airport....two days with over 2 inches of rain on two separate days.....that means I'm now about 6 inches below average for precipitation this year.
So can we please cut out all the "oh no.... more rain" comments!
I just looked back at the temperature statistics. I counted 23 days that were below average in July. Yikes!
(And May and June weren't that much better either)
