Rainfall totals this month
July 16th, 2012 at 10:55 pm by Jim Spencer under Weather
Camp Mabry’s 5.82 inch rainfall total during the first 16 days of the month is already 4 inches above the average for the entire month of July. But, some places in the Austin metro area have seen more than double that amount. Here are the July rainfall totals we showed you during Monday evening’s newscasts:
13.30″ in SW Round Rock. 12.64″ near Webberville
Hi, I am a CoCoRaHs rain reporter since 2007. I have seem consistently that we get less rain then anyone else. People look at me like I am crazy when I say that but the statistics don’t lie. The last 10 days we have received a total of 1.23 the two other stations in Milam cnty have 7.02 & 4.73. This has prove out the same over the last 5 years. The data is all there on CoCoRaHS. We are at lat 30.74086 long 97.21382. Can you tell me the reasons for this or the mechanics of why this is happening? Don’t tell me that we will get our fair share,we don’t, I want to know why.
Thank you very much, Sarah Beard we are at TX.MLM-1 on CoCoRaHS
I’m assuming you meant 30.47 on the latitude. If you’ll take a close look at the map I’ll email you of July rainfall, you’ll find locations near your area with a rainfall total estimated at less than one inch.
The map of rainfall since Oct. 1 also shows scattered areas in green, which represent 10-20″ of rain, while surrounding areas have received 30″ or more. While you may feel alone in Milam County, look at the other areas in surrounding counties that have experienced the same thing.
There is no explanation to provide you, other than bad luck.
Thanks for watching KXAN.
