Just did some research on rainfall statistics for 2008 versus 2007. There has been some 'angst' over the lack of rainfall lately. While some of us were a bit short for June, lets visit the numbers for just my station.
Taking the period from January 1st to June 30th.
2007 Rainfall-15.67"
2008 Rainfall-24.77"
What is the average rainfall for this period? 29.18"
We are short by a little more than 4 inches or just over 15%.
~BUT~
I knew we were in much better shape than 2007, but I didn't realize it was 158% better!
