Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week is a report posted by observe with station number SC-HR-14 in Horry County, South Carolina. We like their report because it compares present precipitation patterns with those in the past. Historical and present day records are very important for climate science because they allow us see weather and climate patterns and their effects over time. We know last year was very rainy. Therefore, comparing precipitation amounts in Horry County with those of 2013 really helps us understand how much precipitation they have received. It's also fun to look up climate records for your area and compare them to what you're observing. You can visit the North Carolina State Climate Office or South Carolina State Climate Office websites to find some these data sources. Great job SC-HR-14!

Last week we recorded another 1.27" of precipitation. We are currently
just a few hundreths of an inch short of the total rainfall recorded in
2013! So it has been a very wet year so far. There was still standing
water in the wetlands earlier in the week but has since drained. Still,
everything is very green and moist with no need for any supplemental
irrigation at this time.
