Enough already




Seriously, does southern Oklahoma need more rain? Isn't being 10-22 INCHES ABOVE
NORMAL over the last 90 days enough?





Do these lakes need more water?



Does Fittstown need any more rain? Take a look at their meteogram for the last 90
days as they've marched from summer to a short fall and then right into winter.
The one thing that hasn't changed...RAINFALL!



Oh by the way, somebody had asked me if the summer was more humid than normal.
Yes, at least when you look at the departure from average (2003-2017) Mesonet
RH data. Interesting how it matches up to our drought fortunes (which also
matches up to the rainfall fortunes).
