I like it....I had to separate your station name into 3 parts, Casa 4 Vientos to find it. This is great, Thank you.

Did you have a post in the last few days indicating your gauge showed 19 inches of rain recently? I can't find it....and I wondered if you'd missed a decimal point.....like maybe 1.9 inches?

There was no post. I read it directly from his weather page. It was 19 inches. It has now disappeared from the page because the storm is over, I presume.

There had to have been a post, or I wouldn't have seen it. I was just mystified by the figure of 19 inches. I know Cinco de Mayo floods every time a dark cloud passes by....I can't imagine what 19 inches of rain would look like.

Since I periodically post information on how to access the weather station data, I don't post quantities.

Yes, it was 19 inches, bringing us up to 29 inches for the season. We still need more.

John was kind of the opposite of Rick. Rick was windy and not horribly wet, a gust to 48 MPH and 8 inches of rain. John had a maximum gust here of 24 MPH, but 19 inches of rain.

your station recorded 23.59 inches in September out of 29 inches for 2024! My name sake was incredible!

Looks like more is coming, maybe the same kind of thing, sprinkles now. Sorry, but not with your name.

I can’t remember when it was, but years ago friends in Troncones had drained their pool just before a storm. Twenty-four hours later they measured the water in their pool at 24”.

Hard to imagine that kind of rain. Using the old Farmers' Almanac figure of 1 inch of rain = 10 inches of snow, that's a 240 inch snowfall...20 FEET!

Now that’s rain

Imagine this…

About 50 km from where I live is a place named Hucuktlis Lake.

Hucuktlis Lake averages 6,903 mm (271.8 in) of precipitation, and in 1997 9,307 mm (366.4 in) fell.

Over 30 feet of rain in a year.

When people visit with me and complain about the weather I tell them, “If you want to visit a rainforest, expect some rain.” When people visit Troncones and complain that it’s hot I say something similar.
