The Great New York City Rain Detective Agency Report: A Case of the Missing Moisture (Mostly)
Greetings, weather weary warriors and parched pavement enthusiasts! Today, the Great New York City Rain Detective Agency (patent pending) cracks the case of the day's downpour... or lack thereof.
Did it rain in the Big Apple today?
The answer, my friends, is a resounding maybe. Shocking, I know. But hear me out.
For the early birds and breakfast-eaters, the sky held onto its precious H2O reserves. Not a single drop dared to sprinkle on your morning croissant. Those hoping for a spot of rain to water their window flowers were left with a case of the sad sprinklers.
But hold on to your umbrellas, folks! Because around lunchtime, the weather gods decided to sprinkle a little something-something. We're talking a trace amount, a meteorological mist, a "did I just imagine that?" sprinkle.
Later in the afternoon, things got a bit more exciting. Between 3:15 and 5:45 pm, a whole 0.09 inches of rain decided to grace New York City with its presence. That's about the thickness of a slightly enthusiastic high five.
So, to summarize: rain? Not much. But hey, at least it wasn't another scorching summer day, right?
