There has been some talk about rainfall records being set in Toronto this summer.
I thought I should address this for Waterloo.
Here are the top 5 July precipitation totals:
1988 - 223.2 mm
1987 - 195.4 mm
1951 - 191.8 mm
1991 - 182.6 mm
1950 - 180.6 mm
Right now we are in 6th place for the July rainfall.
As of 10 am on July 28th we have had 164 mm.
We might be getting a few showers before the end of the month, but it is hard to imagine that we will get the 17 mm to catch up to 1950.
Here are the top 6 June/July precipitation totals:
1947 - 309.4 mm
1927 - 296.7 mm
1967 - 286.3 mm
1987 - 285.6 mm
1953 - 279.4 mm
1951 - 276.6 mm
Here we are only in 7th place with 270.4 mm.
However, we could move up depending on just how much we get this week as we only need 6 mm more.

It is 7 pm and so far we have 16.2 mm of rain for today. We might make the top 5 after all.
16.6mm! So close!

we had 62mm of rain tonight between 6:45 and 7:30, high winds, downpours and flooding in the streets. Older neighbourhood in Stanley park (kit), at 10:30 I was out to hear the rumble of tree shedders :)
What a summer!

I measured 50 mm of rain from Wednesday evening's thunderstorms in Stanley Park after returning home from a golf game. This was in addition to another 10 mm measured Wednesday morning. No wind damage is seen in my immediate neighbourhood, however one similar storm I saw at Innerkip (Oxford County) did produce at least 4 funnel clouds there.
