Default Penn's questions

Willi was present for the worst year for heavy rain in nearly 20 years.

True, that was exceptional. Not sure of the dates of the Clave that
year, but it rained 5.92 inches in May and 9.0 (!) inches in June.

May is NOT, I repeat, NOT a typically raining month in PA(April often is, though).


According to the data published daily in the CDT (local paper) by
AccuWeather, the 30-year average rainfall for the month of May is 3.70
inches.

Average for April, 3.16 inches. June, 4.28 inches.

Large standard deviations, of course.

As long as I'm looking stuff up, average high temps for the second
half of May rise from 69 to 73, F; average overnight lows, 48 to 53.

All those numbers are for State College, about 30 miles WSW of Coburn.
In this kind of mountainous terrain, both rainfall and temps can vary
a lot over relatively short distances.
