Through 4 p.m. Monday, 2.73 inches of rain has been recorded at the airport this month. That’s almost an inch above normal but well below the pace of soggy 2015, when 4.66 inches of rain was recorded at this point in the month.
Elsewhere in the Juneau area, 1.84 inches of rain was recorded in the Mendenhall Valley on Sunday, including more than an inch and a half in just three hours.
