Posted: 30 Nov 2016 05:07 AM
Waterloo picked up 0.8 inches of precipitation on Sunday and 1.40 inches total for the
month. So for this November, Waterloo received more than 50% of the monthly total of
precipitation within one 24 hour period. How common is this situation? The featured chart
presents the monthly frequency of having such an occurrence for Waterloo. About one in
three years see this happen during November, so not uncommon at all. The
climatologically wettest month of June has the lowest frequency as having a single intense
rain event for month is very unlikely (other rain events are more likely to add up).
