July 2026 Precipitation Report

by local | Nature

July was quite a dry month right up until the end. On the 28th my total was 2.22″ but the month ended with 4.80 inches, greater than the NOAA normal of 4.28″. The drought monitor has only a  tiny sliver of Vermont in any kind of drought and that should go away with the next report. Year to date my total is 24.58″ compared to the NOAA normal for this date of 26.41 inch. About 93% of the average.

Across Vermont the monthly totals range from a low of 1.7″ in north central Vermont to over ten inches in southern Bennington County.  That area received more rain from the month ending storm. There were towns just north of here that also received inches more rain than the 2.58″ measured over 3 days at my gauge.

The rain yesterday and overnight totaled 1.27″ at my location.  I am a CoCoRaHS volunteer and we submit our report each morning at 7am.  So that rain is my August 1st report number.  CoCoRaHS is short for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, headquartered at Colorado State University.  There are somewhere in the area of 20,000 people reporting across the US and Canada.

July Rainfall

For my location a dry month with 2.27″ measured compared to the NOAA normal of 4.28″.  The moisture we did receive was evenly spread across the month with 4 being the most completely dry days in a row.  You can see the effects of less rain with lawns starting to turn brown in sunny areas.  Within the CoCoRaHs network my location is the driest in the state for July. 

In Windham County there are a couple of stations reporting over 4″ for the month so many locations are not as dry.  Up north it is a different story with near record rainfall.  A station in St. Johnsbury has measured 17.73″ for the month.
