How much rain last 3 months? STX
Anyone else loving the amount of rain we're getting?
So, any of you have info on how much rain we have had in the last 3 months? It seems like it hasn't rained like this for a long long time?
Would also be interested to know how that compares to other years?
THanks!
it has been a welcome relief for sure and hope it continues

As for comparison, in 2012, we received a total of 36.7".

In 2010 we receive 46.8".
In the past 4 years, Dec. Jan, and Feb have been the driest months. May and June the wettest.
All depends on where you are on the island.
I knew someone was keeping track, but could not remember who....
Thanks for the awesome info!!!!
I have been keeping track since my rain gauge arrive December 1.
December = 3.5"
January = 1.4"
February = 1.4"
March = 2.7" with the 1.7 we got Saturday night.
9 inches total for those months.
These are mid Island above Salt River.
The last rain was very timely, as it was getting very dry up here.
I've also noticed that it seems every time I add water to my pool it rains!
I added water on Thursday last week.

Thanks!
