Interesting October

As October is winding down I decided to look to see how much rain we have had this month.

It seems like we have had more rain than what we actually turned out. We have had four inches of rain here in Gig Harbor.  It is hard to judge the rainfall; for instance one day this week the rain came down hard, however, the news said that Seattle had a quarter of an inch. I expected we got more rain than Seattle though. Our average is about five inches more rain than Seattle a year.

The rainfall for 2019 is right now half of the average for the year. In other words, we have to get double the rain over the next two months to be at our average. It could happen but not likely. Looking at the record of rain in 2015 we had the highest month ever in December so if we get close to that plus the average for November we would have the rainfall for the year we should.

I expect a lot of rain for the remaining of the year even if we don’t make the average. Last year we hit our average while in the previous four years we had more rain. Stay tuned see what happens.
