2012 Drought

[SB Shock]

or climatology.

I predict in June Wichita will receive >1 inch at least once in 30 day period.

This whole thread is sooo Obama.

I really love it when they list POP (Percent of Precipatation) usually ranging from 20-80% Example given is that if an area has say a 60% chance of rain, this means that in 6 out of 10 cases where the weather is similar (boy is that a qualifier), there will be a measurable amount of precipitation somewhere in the area (and this one as well).

Innumerous parts of Florida we have had drought conditions for over 5 years years. Year to date through May 19, we are 7 1/2 inches under normal. For the last 12 days, they have predicted around 55-60 POP everyday. And one day we got rain - actually in my area.

Must be nice to have a prefession whereby you can be right about 20 percent of the time and still maintain your job.

Don't think this would work too well for Air Traffice Controllers.

Nice catch, SB.

No Rain in the extended 20 day forecast.

So I guess that was 7UP falling from the sky last night?

Wow! A whole .2" might as well not rain. All it did was make it humid. The fact that we are almost 3" behind for may tells it all.

"tells it all"? Hmmmm.

See, the average for January is 0.84" and we only had 0.03 actual inches. BUT ...

The average for February is 1.02 but we 3.60 actual inches.
Te average for March is 2.71 but we had 4.03 actual inches.
The average for April is 2.57 but we had 5.24 actual inches.

Now I am not mathematician, but you add up the averages through April and you get and average of 7.14" through end of April. But then when you add up the actual we have had in Wichita, you get 12.9" this year already. So through April we already had a surplus of 5.76" over the averages.

I am pulling this data from here http://weather-warehouse.com/Weather..._KS_April.html and here http://average-rainfall-cities.findt.../l/103/Wichita

So you lived a mile from the airport. Where do you live now? Why did you move? Did you move west and that is why the rain goes east of you? Maybe you should move back east.

I LIVE a mile from the airport. I've lived there for 18 years. We always miss out on rain. #eastofturnpike
