Do You Remember LAST August?

AUGUST 2007

Dog days? Not this August

WI State Journal

...Recall last August in Madison?

On Aug. 18 it rained 3.39 inches, breaking a record for the date. The next day set another record with 2.13 inches of rain. Three days later it rained 3.2 inches, breaking a third record.

By then, "flooding" was an understatement.

For the month, Madison received 15.18 inches of rain, by far the most recorded in any month in city history.
