Over the last 60 days, rainfall has been 3-6 inches above normal in the central Ohio valley. Interestingly, rainfall has been below normal not far to the southeast in eastern Kentucky.
If you are thinking that your yard is soggy lately, it is not your imagination. For whatever reason, while rainfall has been well above normal this spring, my neighborhood seems to be getting deluge after deluge in quantities exceeding many other parts of the metro area. In the past 24 hours, I have measured 1.45 inches of rain at my Cheviot OH 3W location, yielding 27.36 inches of rain since January 1. Normal since January 1 would be about 15 inches. In 2018, I measured 65.46 inches of rain, compared to an annual average of 43.72 inches. So, if you feel like you are living in a rain forest, or a swamp, it is not your imagination.
