Rain, Rain, Go Away (or at least tell us how much!)
Baltimore, you fickle city, you. One moment you're basking in glorious sunshine, the next you're drowning in a deluge. The question on everyone's lips (or at least in their weather apps) is: How much rain did Baltimore just get?
Let's dive into this watery world together, shall we?

| How Many Inches Of Rain Did Baltimore Get |
It's Raining Cats and Dogs (and Numbers)
Now, trying to pinpoint the exact amount of rain that fell in Baltimore is like trying to count the number of grains of sand on a beach. It's a lot! But we can certainly get a good estimate.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Weather services like the National Weather Service (NWS) are the go-to for this kind of information. They have fancy-schmancy radars and weather stations that track precipitation like it's their job (which it is). So, if you're looking for the official word, they're your best bet.
Inches, Inches Everywhere
When we talk about rainfall, we usually measure it in inches. An inch might not sound like much, but when it's coming down from the sky in buckets, it can quickly add up. Imagine a ruler stuck vertically outside. The height the water reaches on that ruler is essentially your rainfall measurement. Simple, right? Well, not when you're dealing with the weather.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Baltimore’s Rainy Reputation
Baltimore has a bit of a reputation for being on the damp side. It's not exactly the Sahara Desert, that's for sure. But don't let that deter you from visiting! The city has plenty of charm to offset the occasional downpour. Just remember to pack an umbrella. Or a boat, if it's really bad.
