Rain Data for the Year

Here's the rain data I collected for the farm this year. And I'm posting some of the previous years' data for comparison purposes. 

Total rain accumulation:

2018 -- 64.35"

2017 -- 40.20"

2016 -- 52.96" 

Number of days where there was over an inch of rain :

2018 -- 11 days

2017 --  6 days

2016 -- 8 days 

The greatest amount of rain in a 24 hour period (I measure from 7 am to 7 am) :

2018 -- 3.87"

2017 -- 2.10" 

2016 -- 3.81" 

Number of days with no rain:

2018 -- 72

2017 -- 134

2016 -- 124

The longest number of days in a row of no rain :

2018 -- 10 days

2017 -- 10 days 

2016 -- 16 days

Overall, 2018 proved to be a wet year. Only 72 days recorded zero rainfall, and many of those days were overcast, thus no productive sun. The ground never dried out the entire year, though in December we saw the surface dry out one week in December.
