Having produced no rain, July was the driest month of the precipitation year, followed by May (0.4mm of dew) and June and August (0.8mm).Ĭompared to the previous five years, the precipitation year 2020-2021 was wetter than or comparable to the years 2019-2020 (384.4mm), 2016-2017 (389.9mm), and 2015-2016 (319.6mm), and considerably drier than 2017-2018 (569.1mm) and 2018-2019 (547.0mm).Storage Period Total (Oct-Mar) = the total amount of precipitation received from October 1 to March 31. Between April and August 2021, no thundery days were registered, with the total for the year amounting to 28. March, in fact, kicked off the spring season with a couple of stormy days and 27.0mm of precipitation. Rainfall for the period stretching from March to August amounted to just 31.2mm, with the first month of the meteorological spring being the biggest contributor to this total. February 2021, in fact, went down on record as the sixth driest February since 1923. February’s contribution to winter’s total rainfall was a paltry 7.8mm, which came nowhere close to the norm for the month of 56.9mm of rain. The 141.0mm of rain measured during this season were mainly collected in December (62.8mm), which was the wettest December since 2014, and January (70.4mm), which clocked the highest total of rainy days – 15 – of all months. The meteorological winter yielded just over half the expected seasonal rainfall. This season is generally associated with showery episodes - rather than the winter months’ prolonged periods of rain – which result from convective (fluffly-looking) clouds and are punctuated by intervals of drier and sunnier weather. The meteorological autumn, which is composed of September, October, and November, was the year’s wettest season, having accounted for 223.1mm or more than half the total rainfall collected between September 2020 and August 2021. Despite it being drier than average, November was the precipitation year’s second-wettest month with 77.1mm of rainfall measured.
