This will not be one of the driest years on record. Even if the water year ended today, we would barely make the top ten. (We're sitting at 7.82 inches, which would be tenth driest, bumping 1996 to eleventh.) Nevertheless, the 2020 summer has been significantly drier than normal. The average for May is .86 inches, the average for June is .42 inches, and the average for July is 1.0 inches, for a three month total (on average) of 2.3 inches. In 2020, we've got zero for May, .10 for June, and .60 for July, for a three month total of .70: Less than one third of normal. If you're not in the green line; you're in the dust zone.
