    I’m a frequent visitor to your site, it’s one of the best (or the best) blog for metro Atlanta conditions and weather perspective. I have a couple questions: where can I find the historic average rainfall per month for this area? Also, can you put this year’s rainfall and weather into some kind of perspective for us? Are we close to normal rainfall (considering this weekend’s rain)?

    Thanks for the work you are doing. You are truly a resource for those of us interested in Atlanta’s climate.

    Matt, take a look at the most recent post for the answers to some of your questions. And, by the way, my “About” page has some good info on normal and historical rainfall. (One of these years I’ll have to separate the about info from the rainfall info).
