Weather extremes have been a theme over the last several years but we have been fortunate in Licking County to not experience the worst of these extremes. Much of our county experienced a very wet spring but as we reach the end of the growing season the early wetness was balanced by a drier than average end of the summer. Thanks to our dedicated rainfall reporters from throughout the county, I am able to provide the following chart. One of our reporters experienced technical difficulties with their weather station but we still have a good picture of rainfall around the county.
