Enough Already!

It just keeps raining and thunderstorming here in North Texas. In the 20 years that I have lived here I have never seen anything like it. The graphic to the right shows us closing in on a record June but it's been raining consistently here since March. It's almost as if I went to sleep and woke up in different city - one that has a rainy season.

I looked up some other statistics as well:
  • Rainfall for the year so far: 31.83". Normal: 18.67". 70% more.
  • May: 13 days w/ thunderstorms; 9 days w/ heavy rain; 21 days w/ light rain; rainfall 62% above normal; 22 cloudy days
  • April: 4 days w/ thunderstorms; 2 days w/ heavy rain; 8 days w/ light rain; rainfall 12% below normal; 11 cloudy days
  • March: 5 days w/ thunderstorms; 4 days w/ heavy rain; 14 days w/ light rain; rainfall 25% above normal; 14 cloudy days
I couldn't find the number of sunshine days for the year but I'm sure that it is dramatically smaller this year. So what's going on? I have the suntan lotion at the ready and figured out where the local public pool is but there are no opportunities.

I guess that means I must do more much-procrastinated paperwork. Yuck!
