Rain this year vs normal, by town

[furrowtickler]

From July 11 till 31st we only had 17 mm

Red Deer at 122% of normal, sounds like a good growing season. Our precip was close to that.
Except in our case, almost all of that 122% came in 2 events in June. Nothing in May, and almost nothing after June.

It certainly depended on which storm cloud you were under. On the July 9th hail storm moisture varied from 7/10’s to 21/2 inches within 2 miles. Total rain for the year varied by roughly 4 inches(100 mm’s) from high to low within the 8 mile radius we farm.
