Record setting rains

Stage = 53cm, Ta = 19.9C, Tw = 15.5C

This July is already the wettest month on record for the Miomote Basin region. Today was another rainy day of fieldwork, but at least the river level was not so high and we could take a discharge measurement.

July is not yet over, but already an incredible 837mm of rain has fallen at Takane, and 628mm has fallen at Miomote. Since 1978, the wettest month was previously 629mm (Takane) and 520mm (Miomote), so we can see that the precipitation this month has been way above these past amounts which were recorded in November 1985.
