Jul-Jun 'water year' - are we done yet?

 My worksheet calculates weather on a July-June period. Most folks around these parts actually do Sep-Aug.. praps I should make a shift? In any case, I can do a 12-month report now and assume that the next week will be dry; if it isn't true it is quite close.

Our Jul-Jun total right now is 92¼ inches. That's absurdly higher than our almost-58" normal based on the new 30-year recent average, but it is not the highest - that still belongs to 2016-17 at 94 inches. The previous 30-year average (1981-2010) was 63.7 inches, so our expectations were lowered but then shattered by all the moisture. Sep-Jun featured only one month below average, and that was a 94% March. Five months were over 10.5", not bad when the wettest month should be 9.06" (November). June is at 188% of normal as of the 24th; the week could end with drizzle or some light showers, so it could creep up a bit more.

Our two wettest years, compared to the current 'normal' based on 1991-2020 amounts

p.s. Happy near-anniversary those who endured last year's Heat Dome. On June 28th our thermometer topped out at 105.6° - and that was among the lowest of the OR/WA stations I looked at that day! It reached 116° in Portland, an hour south and 750' lower. Elevation makes us snowier in the winter (April too!), and when it's hot it's better to be here than most valley locations. Today reached 101° so we're ahead of last year's 6/26 reading. Forecasts are for the marine push to begin tomorrow afternoon, so the next two records are not in jeopardy. Yay!
