The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the volunteer rain gauge less than a mile south-southeast of Lovilia (gauge ID US1IAMR0006), 7 miles from the middle of Monroe County. It reported 285 of the 286 days from Jan 1 to Oct 13; the one day 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.
This gauge has no NOAA normal, so this page gives no usual year or percent for it.
Why this gauge: it is the only one inside Monroe County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
