Does it feel like this month has been especially soggy? Well, it could be due to the frequency of rainfall.
After Thursday, April 30, we will have recorded 21 days this April with at least a trace of precipitation.
What may come as a surprise is that this is not one of the rainiest months on record, though.
To crack the top 20 rainiest Aprils in Metro Detroit, we would need a monthly precipitation total of 4.44 inches.
As of April 29, we have recorded 3.35 inches. That is about 0.20 inches above normal and nearly half an inch more than we had at this point last year. We will add to the total on Thursday, but very minimal numbers.
So, overall, we will come up about an inch shy of the top 20 rainiest Aprils.
