As of this posting, Friday 13 July 2012, we are in a very dry period, the driest in several years. Rainfall is usually announced as how many inches fell. For those of us who schedule outdoor activities, inches are not as important as frequency. We want to know how often it rains/snows. Consequently, I record those days (midnight to midnight) in which some precipitation fell on my property in the City of Norwich. On 3 January 2012, I posted my data for 2011. Here are the data for the first half of 2012.
Dry Days Wet Days
January 10 21
February 12 17
March 18 13
April 18 12
May 16 15
June 16 14
For the first half of 2012, we had a total of 90 dry days and 92 wet days, about one wet day for every dry day. However, we have had less precipitation, so it is drier.
