The Great Atlanta Rain Gauge Roundup
Unfortunately, there's no single answer to this question. Rainfall can vary wildly across the city, with some neighborhoods getting soaked while others enjoy relatively dry spells. Think of it like a game of rain roulette! However, we can consult some reliable sources to get a general idea.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- The National Weather Service: Their nifty "Rainfall Scorecard" tells us how Atlanta's rainfall this year compares to previous years and the 30-year average. Intriguing! But it doesn't give us a specific rain total.
- Weather Websites: Some websites, like iWeatherNet, track rainfall data and might have Atlanta's year-to-date total. Be sure to check the date though, because Atlanta weather can change faster than you can say "humidity!"
