2026 so far in Spencer County
- Biggest single day: not known. 1 report covers more than one day, and the biggest day could be inside one of them.
- Longest dry stretch: 12 days in a row with the gauge at zero, May 28 to Jun 8.
- 2025 by the same date: 55.29 inches at the same gauge. On the 279 days both years reported, 2026 had 9.52 inches less than 2025.
- 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.
The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the volunteer rain gauge 6.6 miles south-southwest of Simpsonville (gauge ID US1KYSP0008), 8 miles from the middle of Spencer County. It reported 279 of the 286 days from Jan 1 to Oct 13; the 7 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.
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 Spencer County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
