We can’t say exactly how much rain fell on Capitol Hill last month but we would speculate that it’s a pretty good bet the neighborhood kept solid pace with the record setting totals recorded at Sea-Tac.
Our October 2016 tallied 10.05 inches of rain for the month. The old record was 8.96 inches set in 2003. October featured a sopping 25 days of recorded rain, also reportedly a record.
If you’re wondering if you are living through the End Times, it’s hard to say. But “climate models driven with increased greenhouse gases show a dramatically increased amount of early fall precipitation, particularly during October.”
Happy November.
Sadly, looks like Sunday’s supermoon viewing won’t be so swell given current forecast :(
Remember newbies, the rainy season starts in November around here. That California sun is calling your name.
I never understand why people insist on trying to leap over 4 to 6 ft of puddle at this corner, rather than walk just 2 ft to the side of it and up onto the curb from pretty much dry street. ¡derp!
Because leaping can be fun?!?
Seven guys… on Capitol Hill.
That puddle seems to always be there after a heavy rain. The drain is clearly not functioning!
