Wettest Summers
* * * *
This is the wettest summer in Syracuse since 1922, or just about 100 years! Records in Syracuse go back to 1902.
This is the first summer where at least six inches of rain has fallen in June, July AND August.
The rainfall that put us into second place was courtesy of the remains of Tropical Storm Fred. In fact, during the 24 hours from Wednesday morning through Thursday morning *3.57” fell which meant we had the equivalent of a full months of rain in just one day!
* = Officially at the airport. Here in Fairmount I measured 4.21″ during the same time period (8-18 to 8-19)
8-17-2021 we got 1.30″, giving a total of 5.50″ over 3 days!
There is still a week to go in August, so you never know, might take over the number 1 spot!
