Wettest Year on Record for D/FW - 11/29/15 02:02 PM
I see several posts related to this most recent deluge, that many lakes are closed or soon will be.
I have the data back to 1899 and we have had several years with annual rainfall > 50", maybe 54" being the record for North Texas. I need to check it again.
Nonetheless, we are soon coming to an end of November so we'll have another monthly statistic. I am almost certain this puts us at or near the record rain total . . . with a month to go.
Is 60" possible? Heck, maybe probable. That would be, of course, a remarkable 5" per month average. The huge May statistic made this all possible.
Here are the numbers for the past several years. Brad
