nothing until rainy season (mid to late June/Early July) for my area

lack of cold fronts coming through will keep us dry, and continued
reinforcement of dry air and fronts missing us to the north will let dry
conditions persist
so imo no rain till July

Miami has seen just 0.04in of rain all month so far (that all fell on 1 day Mar 13) and no other significant rain measured since Feb 24-25-26.

So I'd say that's a dry spell for sure.

1998-2001 was much worse...all my ponds and lakes dried out back then...
the ponds and lakes still have plenty of water now...and that's due to that one storm in February that dumped 15 inches of rain in 6 hours, but yes it has been quite dry since then

The weather men are forecasting a 30% chance of rain :ggreen: . Hope that helps out but usually it ends up being no rain.
