According to my lil' Weatherbug

0.00

The local paper said this will be the driest May in over 100 years.

So far this month in West Houston, downtown Spring Branch, the weatherbug site shows all of .01" for the month. POP for the rest of the month? Can you say darn near 000000000000000000?

If this keeps up much longer I'm gonna have to take out a loan to pay the water bill!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

I think officially it's 0.01 but I don't recall getting that much rain. :roll:

Unless something unforeseen happens in the next couple of days, we're going to have our driest May ever!!

You and me both, David ;)

For the Philadelphia area, we had 3.82 inches of rain - I think that's alittle above normal.

We had hardly any sunny days - perhaps 2 or 3. The rest were cloudy and rainy. The most rain we had was from Memorial Day weekend. All of the other rainy days were light.

A trace, that's it.....May and June for us are *traditionaly* the driest months of the year THEN.......the monsoons kick in in July (almost like clock work, July 4th) God let's hope so, I'm so tired of seeing dead and dying trees, it's worse this year than last!

14.50" for May. Was this luck or warning for the season ahead ? S FL is not in a drought this time.
