You take an inch from August and put it June 15th and your grass is fine or if we had gotten 2in in Feb - again your grass would be better
Even with the lack of rain - if we would of had avg temps if wouldn't of been as bad
But you can't do that...that's the problem. When you get 6+" of rain in a short period, the ground can only hold so much of that, then it starts to run off.
So again, it's not just about the average. It's how you get to it that matters.

Please send some our way. We haven’t had measurable rain in quite some time.

Tons of rain here in Jax as well. Early Summer April, May had to Water lawn daily to keep from drying up. Now lawn dying from too much rain. Go figure. I swear we have had rain daily for the last 3 weeks.

You think the fricking ground is taking all this moisture in?

it’s beyond ridiculous. What’s causing all of this?
Designed (yes, designed) TO be "ridiculous." (To the point of trauma imprinting.)
Let's put it this way:
Do you think this South/Gulf "rain system" and the one that just laid 10" on DFW is normal or "natural"?
(Asking for a friend): Might ways to "Make Rain", the means, AND an agenda be afoot?

Really??
Let's not mention Agenda 2030, planned / executed demolition of food supplies, or manipulations of the weather. All too kooky CT-ish for the OT.

It rhymes with "fan blade local farming."

Isn't is normally rainy during the summer months along the Gulf Coast?

Not unheard of. A similar event happened back in 1964, after a brutally hot and rainless July and August in DFW, the area had 15 inches of rain in September.

Corn was already pretty fricked due to no rain for pretty much the entire summer.
That's why we just lease out our farming land instead of farming ourselves. frick all that heartache and angst.

yea pop up showers in the afternoon
Usually 30-40% chances daily
Not 60-70% chances weeks at a time
Probably will be 2nd rainiest on record behind 2016 for many areas in South LA without there being some kind of tropical system
will be records broken in North LA

Where did I say that? First of all, it hasn't rained everyday since July 28th. Second, I never said I'm concerned about it getting to the average.
quote:

No, I don't, which is the point I made. I'm confused--which one of is is arguing that averages matter again? All I said was that we were below average. I didn't say I wanted to get back to average, nor did I say I wanted it all at once.
So frick off with this bullshite flipping the script crap you're trying to pull.

I would hazard to guess that most of southwest Louisiana is still well below average rainfall for the year.
Where I'm at in St. Landry we are about 16 inches below where we should be at this point in the year.
So why say this if you don't think this rain is needed to get back to avg?

Maybe in some areas, but most of the state is likely going to be fine.

In S LA we've gotten rain almost every day for 2 months. I bet we haven't had 5 dry days since the beginning of July.
The main Baton Rouge observation site has seen 10 dry days in August alone (you don't count Trace as rainfall because it isn't measurable).
The other two BR sites that are active have seen 9 and 5 dry days in August, respectfully.
When we look at July, the main site recorded 16 dry days. The other two saw 16 and 10 dry days. This accounts for rainfall measurements as low as 0.01", of which there are a few.
The area has seen above normal rainfall for August, but not alarmingly so.
An interesting note is that for the main BR observation site six of the past ten Augusts have been above normal. 2016, of course had enough rain to equal nearly five Augusts.

Yes.
And of course there are anomalies. (1964 was 60 years ago).
But as one poster noted -- for 24+ hours straight?
Did you notice how it rained 10-12" in Texas? An "expert" said it was a "one in one thousand years" anomoly.
What about recently in Vegas?
In CA?
Actually...
"Normal" weather patterns no longer exist. People are going to have to start drawing their own conclusions that something -- actually a LOT -- isn't right.

Now, tell us about the "Unprecedented Rainfall" in Death Valley a couple weeks ago. I think it was "Super, Dooper Unprecedented".
