including Palm Beach

We had rain off and on all day, but not heavy. First rain we've had for more than a month.

We have had daily thunderstorms for several days - today is the first day without any rain in about a week but we sure needed it. The main reservoir is about 60% full now and more rain is expected by mid-week.
It is lovely to hear the excitement of the birds and to see the mountains and grass displaying various shares of green. The smell of the flowers is oh so pleasing. Of course the downside is flooding in some areas but it wasn't as bad as expected.
Hope you get some more - looks like you will.

We were worried even more about Dorian because the ground was so saturated. Then, nothing.

I'll take the rain - we need it, and the promised cooling down.

It sounds quite lovely where you are. I don't appreciate it here as much. The unrelenting heat has made it difficult.

Water really is life

Miami normally receives almost 10 inches of rain in September but this year it was closer to 3.

August was similarly above average and one of the 3 or 4 wettest Augusts on recent record. But that doesn't sustain given the heat and length of sunshine throughout September. It really needs to be more balanced otherwise it does create drought conditions in a hurry.

My lawn went from great to brown and challenged within weeks. Same at the golf course I play. Water level at one duck pond on that course went from overflowing to too low.

In meteorology, training denotes repeated areas of rain, typically associated with thunderstorms, that move over the same region in a relatively short period of time. Training thunderstorms are capable of producing excessive rainfall totals, often causing flash flooding.

not as in being taught to do something. Thanx!

We got rain last night and plenty is falling right now.

As long as it’s not accompanied by 100mph winds!

Horrible drought.

Just found the FOURTH leak in my roof since June minutes ago!

At least there is very little wind with this rain
