This should give you a good indicator for the MD/Baltimore area...
This month is ending as Baltimore’s wettest July in history, by far, but that’s only the beginning of the rainfall records set recently.
Through Monday, there was 16.67 inches of rain this month at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Normal July rainfall is about 4 inches .
The total is less than 2 inches from a record for Baltimore’s
single wettest month, set in August 1955, when back-to-back tropical cyclones hit the region. Though showers are possible around the region Tuesday afternoon and evening, it’s unlikely enough rain will fall to match or break the 18.35-inch record.
Here are some of the marks that have been added to Baltimore’s record books, according to the
National Weather Service:
»
Three daily rainfall records: 3.35 inches July 17, 4.79 inches July 21 and 4.07 inches July 24.
» The wettest two-week period on record: 16.37 inches during a stretch ending July 28. The old record was 15.93 inches during August 1955.
»
The wettest July on record. The old record was 11.03 inches in 1889.
»
The wettest 90-day period on record, with 29.61 inches from May 2 through July 30. The old mark was 27.01 inches for the 90 days ending Oct. 31, 2011, a period that included
Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee.
»
The wettest March-through-July period on record, also 29.61 inches. The old record dated to 1889, with 24.02 inches of rain.
Since then its rained pretty much every day.
Its just been a suck ass spring and summer for most of the east coast especially the PA, NJ, DE, MD, VA, NC area.
Worst summer I have ever seen.
