Georgia Rain More Than Seattle

We are getting lots of rain again today in Jackson County Georgia so I wanted to check the rain stats.  Atlanta has received 60 inches of rain this year! The yearly average is 50 inches. I wanted to compare that to Seattle which is known for it’s rainy weather. Seattle only averages 36 inches per year. Apparently it is just light rain there but very regular.

In the drought of 2007 we got 32 inches of rain. That is about half of what we have received in 2009 with about 3 weeks left.

Rain in Maysville Georgia

Got a good shower here tonight. It hs been a while since we recieved measurable rain. Right about the time I saw signs up proclaiming the drough to be officially over is when it stopped raining consistantly.
