Well, it’s been almost a year …
But finally we got another “Big Rain Day.”
 |
| History of Big Rain Days in south Florida |
Actually, make that three.
Official definition: A Big Rain Day is any day that an average of an inch or greater is recorded across all of south Florida. For that to happen requires a lot of rain to fall everywhere. Thus the name: Big Rain Day (BRD).
On average we get about five BRDs per year.
And on average, seven percent of them occur in May.

So to get three in May is a big deal,
Especially after such a deep drought.
