| We are supposed to average 25" a year. This year we got none from mid June until mid August. It made up for the deficit in one day with 8". Things have straightened out & now our soil moisture is where it should be.
Even with the drought, crops were nearly up to par.
Snow here comes & goes. Very seldom does November snow stay until spring. Snow will average about 40".

Our average annual rainfall in Jacksonville, Florida, is about 49 inches. We have had a drought this year and are currently about 7 inches below normal. Some recent storms that dropped about 10 inches of rain within a few days brought the average for this year up a bit, but the summer was very dry.

| Average rainfall for my county is 65.19" a year. We've been in a drought this year according to officials, but you couldn't tell because during June, July, September, and October it rained pretty much everyday. Lake Okeechobee has been under the normal range this year because the S. FL Water Mgmt. "in their infinite wisdom" - decided to empty the lake before the hurricane season which created panic among all the county officials . They didn't figure out that this area is dry during the winter months, with most of our rainfall coming down during the summer. We did have a drier winter, but drought -hmm I'm not so sure.
The lake depth is what dictates drought conditions in the area. We have been under mandatory water restrictions for most of this year. We even went as far as implementing phase 3 for part of the year -watering only one day a week. They changed it to phase 2 in the summer.
This year, I decided to use a rain gauge to measure the amount of rainfall. In June and half of July I got 38". The rainfall I measured so far is right in par with the average, but we are experiencing a drought -go figure...

If we got 60" of rain a year, we would be a swamp & the mighty Mississippi would flood all the way to the gulf & never go down.

Here In KCMO, we have had our rains in two doses - both toad-stranglers, resulting in flooded basements and overflowing creeks and rivers. As of today, it's been two months since we've had any appreciable rain.
We sit on the bank of the Muddy Missouri, which is at a record low right now. A dry winter is being predicted, too. The colors of the leaves this fall were drab and dull because of the dry weather - normally, the trees display vivid and vibrant colors, but not this year. |

| In reply to CountryGardens about the deluges in Florida -- most of the state has very sandy, porous soil, so the rain percolates down fairly rapidly under normal conditions. It is not unusual for me in the summertime heat to find it necessary to water by irrigation within a day or so after a heavy rain. It is a constant struggle to keep any moisture absorbing organic matter in the soil since the heat, humidity, and rampant bacterial and fungal growth, coupled with a jungle supply of munching insects, can reduce about a foot thick layer of oak leaves to a thin layer of slightly brown mulch within a month or so. Unfortunately, much of the infrastructure of storm drains and even sections of the Interstates aren't equipped to handle a true deluge like we had about a month ago (about 10 inches of rain within a couple of days). For a few hours during those heavy rains, it is easier to get around by boat then by auto.
But, according to the slogans of our Florida Tourist Bureau, we never have rain, it's just liquid sunshine! LOL

And when we do have cold temp's in winter, thankfully it's only for a few hours at a time ... it warms up during the day. I've been in Florida for 40 years and only remember ONE day where it was so cold that we didn't get out of the high 40's all day!
We are real dry here right now ... about 7" below normal rainfall. We could really use some rain. The humidity is real low and we are under fire watch.
Today was a fall like day with our high only being 69 degrees! A very nice change! It's supposed to be low to mid 70's the remainder of the week, and low 50's at night! I am tired of the 77 degrees and humidity at 2:00 a.m. We are Loving this weather right now! |

However this country was laid out in miles, feet, and inches and long decimals to be accurate in expressing these things here inside our country is not particularly expediant.
When they tried expressing the weather metrically quite a few years ago, they picked the wrong things to start with. Besides F is more accurate than C. It takes nearly two degrees of F to move C one degree.

| I'm in Salt Lake City, UT, and we get about 16" per year in the valleys, mostly snow.
[HYPERLINK@en.wikipedia.org]
We get most of our water as snow in the mountains nearby and catch it in a series of dams that we also use to generate electricity.
In the summer, we can go as long as 8 weeks without measurable precip, especially during late May through mid-July. Sometimes we get what's called virga, wherein the rain falls from the clouds but it evaporates before hitting the ground. It usually falls from small cloud banks, and it's strange to see a curtain of rain off in the distance that just fades away mid-sky.
The air is always dry as dry, which makes it difficult to grow some plants such as Fuschias and Ferns and Polemonium and other delightful woodland species, though my Dicentras do flourish. :D
In the late summer, we have "monsoons," wherein storms boil into existence in the late afternoon, the warmth from the land condensing into dark clouds that move south to north (usual storm track is northwest to southeast). The storms are usually fast-moving, lightning-laden, and they dump their loads quickly, "like a cow peeing on a flat rock," as the more crude among us observe. In the red-rock areas of southern Utah, they often have dangerous flash floods during this time.
The only time we get *really* good moisture is during an El Niño cycle, wherein the jet stream pumps storms from the Pacific Northwest straight over the Sierra Nevadas and dumps exorbitant snowfall in the mountains. In the last really big El Niño cycle (ca. 1981-1984) we had amazing flooding in SLC, to the point where the city had to convert some streets into rivers to compensate for the overwhelmed storm drains. However, El Niño years mean that it stays cool and rainy until mid-June, as if Seattle weather had moved southwest for a spell. |

| Not for sure, but think I clicked the right button. I know we don't get much on this side of the mountains.
If you want to find out for sure (which I didn't because I would have to go to another website and am too lazy) you can find out on yahoo.com. There is a place in there, I think it might be real estate, that tells you about everything if you are looking at moving - and includes rainfall. I really should have looked and got the link to share. |

| ROTF, podster! Good one - and so true!
We have annual rainfall of 52in, but still have sunny skies most of the time. Remember, a lot of that rain comes from quick afternoon summer showers, thunderstorms, and even overnight showers. However, this summer my area received substantially more than the normal amount of rain (if you can imagine that) such that we really did have a lot of dreary, cloudy days. I didn't like that at all. |

| Oh, Todd, you're wrong. We get about 80 inches a year (normally, not this year) but we had over 100 inches one year. The only place I know that is worse in the lower 48 states is Olympia, Wash. Hawaii has some islands that are worse. |

| cactuspatch, I am laughing at your post.
Although it is true that you and El Paso have more sun hours than most any place in the US, I thought that when I lived that one year in Las Cruces going to NM State taking propagation courses, I would shrivel up and never return my skin to normal again. (LOL)
I actually had to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription for tubes of lotion that would keep my skin from cracking. Once I came back to Houston it only took a few months to feel alive again. |

| gessie, I am a native and just regular hand lotion works for me. I always get sick from the air quality when I am in Houston. I have a good friend who lives there and we love to do the Quilt show. My asthma needs clean dry air. I would miss the beautiful blue skies too. I lived in the north once and was very depressed, really missed the sun, warmth and the enchantment! |

| My sister in law just returned from the quilt show in Houston. The pollution in Houston is awful with the refineries there on the port.
I am in south Texas with lots of humidity but good air quality out in the country. I can see why you need the air in La Luz with asthma. I had said Las Cruces but La Luz has lots of memories for me of cherry picking many a summer in La Luz. |
