Why So Rainy Tampa Bay?

     I was recently asked why there has been so much rain this summer in the Tampa area, so I'll first like to give you the rainfall totals for June, July, and the total so far for August, and they are a bit higher than our "normals" or "averages."

June 2013: 11.30 inches
July 2013: 10.19 inches
August 2013: 10.81 inches (so far)

These are higher than our "average" but keep in mind that that an average numbers are not necessarily typical values and can often mask data that varies quite significantly.  I however cannot complete this post until August has ended to have a complete data set to analyze so look for a much more complete post to come in the first few days of September!
