Sacramento Rainfall Records

After a cool and wet April, it finally looks like the weather is starting to dry out and warm up. For the 2016-17 season, the Executive Airport rainfall total is 33.66 inches.

At this point, 2016-17 is the fourth wettest record on record! The wettest rain season on record happened during the 1982-1983 season when Sacramento tallied 36.57 inches of precipitation.

The top 10 wettest years are:

1. 1982-83: 36.57

2. 1889-90: 34.60

3. 1981-82: 33.92

4. 2016-17: 33.66

5. 1885-86: 32.19

6. 1997-98: 32.16

7. 1994-95: 31.78

8. 1957-58: 30.73

9. 1940-41: 30.09

10. 1985-86: 29.83

When we were at the Kings game in mid-April, Larkin said that they had more than 90 inches of rain at their property near Greenwood.
