2026 so far in Columbia County
- Biggest single day: not known. 4 reports cover more than one day, and the biggest day could be inside one of them.
- Longest dry stretch: 17 days in a row with the gauge at zero, Feb 16 to Mar 4.
- 2025 by the same date: 53.20 inches at the same station (it missed 14 days). On the 251 days both years reported, 2026 had 18.26 inches less than 2025.
- On 4 reports 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.
The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station in Magnolia (station ID 034548), 4 miles from the middle of Columbia County. It reported 263 of the 284 days from Jan 1 to Oct 11; the 21 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. 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 263 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.
Why this station: it is the only one inside Columbia County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
