| How Much Rain Did Melbourne Florida Get Yesterday |
The Rain Gauge Runneth Over (or Does It?)
According to reliable sources (aka the National Weather Service, those fine folks who don't mess around with weather myths), Melbourne experienced a bit of a mixed bag rain-wise yesterday.
The Early Bird Gets the Sprinkle: If you were out and about before lunchtime, you probably didn't need an umbrella. There were traces of rain here and there, but nothing more than a quick carwash for the neighborhood pigeons (they seemed happy about it).
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Afternoon Aquatic Adventure (or Not Really): Things got a little more interesting in the afternoon. There were reports of scattered showers between 3:30 PM and 5:15 PM. Now, we're not talking a monsoon here, but if you were caught in it, you might have gotten a bit damp.
The Verdict: So How Much Rain Did It Actually Rain?
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
The official measurement from the Melbourne International Airport weather station shows a total of 0.33 inches of rain throughout the day. That's not enough to fill a kiddie pool, but it is enough to make your petunias do a happy dance.
Important Note: Remember, weather can be fickle, and these measurements are for the airport specifically. It's entirely possible that your aunt Mildred on Mango Lane saw a different kind of downpour (because that's just how Florida rolls).
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
