We've posted a lot on the weather blog recently about the dry weather we've had through September, but just how dry is it?
Well, to date for the month, there has only been 0.51" of rain that has fallen. This brings the deficit to -2.44" below where we need to be. The overall average rain by the end of the month should be 3.35", but there isn't rain in the forecast until the start of October.
If the forecast stands that would keep the September total at 0.51", but where does this month stand compared to history? Looking back, there have only been five other years that have been drier than this September. This year stands as the 6th driest September on record, here's a look at the other five. If you'd like to read more on how the lack of rain has impacted farms, make sure to scroll down a bit more and check out some of our previous posts.
