Hey Where's The Rain?
Fall is offically here... Temperatures are cooler, leaves are turning on the trees, just one thing is missing - rain. September, is shaping up to be another month with less than average rainfall. The wettest month we've had in recent times was July, precipitation was just .17" below normal.
Normally July is a relatively dry month - go figure!
As a matter of record it's been a long time since Portland, has seen a month with normal or above normal precipitation. Since January not a single month in 2007 has had average rainfall totals. The last time we had normal or above normal rain amounts was last year! Really... December 2006.
In case you're wondering since the start of the year Portland Airport has recorded 15.28" of precipitation, that's 7.17" below where we should be for this time of year.
