2026 so far in Barbour County
- Biggest one-day reading: 5.25 inches on Oct 5.
- Longest dry stretch: 17 days in a row with nothing in the gauge, not even a trace, Apr 7 to Apr 23.
- On 1 report the observer read the gauge after more than one day. That rain counts on the day it was read, so it is in the totals but not split by day.
- Across the county: about 44.51 inches, 102% of usual, Jan 1 to Oct 23, from the PRISM 4 km grid averaged over Barbour County (usual: NOAA’s 1991-2020 gridded normal). That is 18 points below this station: rain falls unevenly, and one station can catch or miss a storm.

The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station in Clayton (station ID 011725), 4 miles from the middle of Barbour County. It reported 268 of the 296 days from Jan 1 to Oct 23; the 28 days with no report count as unknown, not as dry. Rain here means everything the gauge caught: rain, and snow melted down to water. A trace, too little to measure, adds nothing to the totals, but it ends a dry stretch: something fell that day. It is read once a day, usually in the morning, and each reading is filed under the day it was read, so an evening storm can show up on the next day.
Usual means NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 daily normals for this station, added up over the same 268 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.
Why this station: it is the only one inside Barbour County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
