By David Emory Stooksbury University of Georgia Athens, Ga. –- An extremely dry May is setting low rainfall records across Georgia. May is traditionally one of the drier months, with rainfall normally averaging 3 to 4 inches across the state. No rain was recorded in May in many places from near Macon to south of Albany.
