June Through September Rainfall


                             Early storms to the southeast, from here at the house - June 14, 2013.

Here are some rainfall reports for the past four months:

Holle (Oro Valley)                                  Jun  T   Jul  3.03  Aug  2.31  Sep  0.45  Total    5.79 inches

House (2979 E. Placita Santa Lucia)       Jun  T   Jul  0.83 Aug  0.68  Sep  1.04   Total    2.55 inches

Lyle (north of Broadway near                 Jun  .02  Jul  1.68  Aug  0.41  Sep  0.56  Total   2.67 inches
         El Con Mall)

Ertman (far southeast Tucson)             Jun  0.33  Jul  1.12   Aug  1.38  Sep  1.85  Total    4.68 inches

Santa Rita Abbey (NW of Sonoita)    Jun 0.30  Jul  5.28     Aug  2.63  Sep  2.22  Total   10.43 inches

Art Douglas (Ash Canyon)                 Jun  0.74  Jul 10.59   Aug 3.18   Sep  2.33   Total  16.84 inches

The totals here at the house for Jun - Aug and Jun - Sep are the driest during my 15-years of records here. The four-month rainfall was 2.91 inches in 2001 and 4.25 inches in 2009. So, a very dry summer season for the northern parts of the Tucson metro area.


                                        Santa Rita Mountains for the Abbey - August 10, 2013.
