With a boost from Tropical Storm Isaac, it proved to be a very wet summer for South Florida
The National Weather Service reported Monday that it was a soggier-than-normal summer across much of the region — and the rainy pattern is expected to continue through much of the week.
West Palm Beach set an all-time mark for the rainiest June-to-August, with 40.34 inches. That beat a previous record of 36.25 inches going back to 1901. In August alone — thanks to Isaac — West Palm Beach saw 22 inches of rain, the wettest August on record for that county.
The weather service’s Miami office also reported summer rankings for other areas:
Miami: 37.40 inches, fourth wettest.
The Redland: 37.93 inches, third wettest.
Fort Lauderdale: 27.10 inches, 20th wettest.
Miami Beach: 20.74 inches, 17th wettest.
