While rain totals for 1998 were just below yearly average (based on data compiled since 1981), Dennis Wingfield of Sperryville noted that 80 percent of the rain this area received in 1998 came during the first six months. So far in 1999, we have had above average rainfall in January, July and September.
All other months for this year have been below average, with less than two inches of rain falling in April and barely more than ohe inch in June.
