Closing in on 12 Months of Rain in Just Over 9 Months
We are quickly closing in on reaching our average annual rainfall at the Birmingham Airport. The annual average is 53.99 inches.
Sunday morning, the rainfall total stood at 52.35 inches. By 8 p.m., 0.95 inches had fallen, pushing the total to 53.30 inches.
With another one third to one half inch of rain expected overnight, we will almost certainly be less than one half inch short of measuring a year’s worth of rainfall in just over nine months.
We have come a long way from the drought of two years ago.
The back end of the heaviest rainfall has now reached the Mississippi border with lost light rain lingering over the eastern half of the Magnolia State.
Rain should begin to taper off in the Birmingham area around 10 p.m., with some light rain until after midnight.
