2012 Ranks
Posted: 09 Oct 2012 05:44 AM
Based on preliminary statewide data, this year is the third driest on
record since 1893. Over various this year, it has been wetter or drier
than that. The featured chart looks at precipitation ranks when
computed from a period to today or from the first of the year to a
given date. For a period from 1 May to 8 Oct, this year is the driest
on record for the period. While the rains of August helped short term
deficits (top chart), they did not change the year to date ranks
(bottom chart). There are actually some chances of rain in the
forecast! Hopefully they start a process on making up these deficits.
