Happy first day of summer. Our Spring certainly was soggy! So far this June we have received 1.59 inches of rainfall. Average for the entire month of June is only 1.58! Remember the wet late 90's? We had 3.58 inches of rain in June, 1997. Who knows maybe we will break that record.
Our rainfall total for the water year so far is 48.04 inches. Still below our record setting wet year of 1999 when it rained 62.16 inches during the entire water year. By the way water years are from October to October. Wet years are really good news for Kitsap. We depend on rain to replenish our aquifers. Good for drinking water, not so good for our spirits. Look at it this way. . .our glass is way over being half full.
