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!

Have been keeping track of it for 4 years.

Here is 2013 to date on Beeston Hill

Month Day Amount

January 4 0.125
7 0.125
8 0.25
10 0.375
23 0.125
26 0.0625
27 0.125
1.1875

February 1 0.4375
7 0.125
11-21 0.25
0.8125

March 5 0.375
17 0.25
18 0.3125
29 0.5
31 1.375

2.8125

As for comparison, in 2012, we received a total of 36.7".
In 2011, we received 64.15".
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 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.
