One would suspect that reading the reports about record rainfall in the Oklahoma Panhandle might make you suspect it’s an April Fool’s joke.
Not so! As the Oklahoma Mesonet reported this week, parts of the normally dry Panhandle received another 2 to 4 inches of raining and as a result, the central Panhandle region leads the climatological summer rainfall totals with more than a foot of rainfall.
Goodwell has recorded 11.97 inches so far while it totals 12.53 inches in Hooker—both are record totals for the June-July period. The Guymon Airport recorded even more—an astonishing 13.31 inches.
Meanwhile, the heat is here.
