    It’s always been that way. Even month to month, we’ve had very dry spells in wet years. And in the 87-92 drought there was a “Miracle March” in 1991. The histogram of rainfall has two humps: dry, or wet. The average precipitation is quite unlikely. This year is the closest to average we’ve had in a long time. The worst is they often use the word “normal” instead of average, but there’s nothing normal about the average.
