The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station 2 miles northeast of Gainesville (station ID 63892), 17 miles from the middle of Sumter County. It reported 280 of the 283 days from Jan 1 to Oct 10; the 3 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 counts as zero.
Usual means NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 daily normals for this station, added up over the same 280 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.
Why this station: it is the only one inside Sumter County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
