Mariton: July Precipitation

by Tim Burris, Preserve Manager.

In July, we experienced 7.22 inches of rain at Mariton.  The average is 5.48 inches, so we continue to add to our surplus.  We had a couple gully washers which is characteristic of the month.  Based on my records, we are now over 8 inches above average for this point in the year.  For reference the driest July was 1999 when I recoreded 0.40 inches.  The wettest was 2004 with 12.27 inches.
