Streak below an inch
Posted: 16 Jul 2021 05:58 AM
Waterloo reported just over an inch of rainfall on Wednesday making for the first such report this year
and the first daily inch plus rainfall since 22 October 2020. The featured chart presents some metrics
regarding precipitation for the site with the top panel displaying the longest periods on record by day
of the year below an inch and with no rainfall reported. The bottom panel is simply the max daily
precipitation by day of the year. The most recent stretch falls well short of the longest period which
lasted between Jun 1909 and August 1910. The Waterloo area has been one of the direst areas in
the state of late and while the area received a number of tornadoes on Wednesday, much needed
rainfall was received as well.
