Excess rain since the beginning of the year
Remember when we were talking about lack of rain and drought? Now, almost the entire region is experiencing excess rainfall since the beginning of the year. Percentage-wise in normal terms, the wettest areas since January 1 have had more than 200 percent of what they normally experience.
