The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station in Derr (station ID USS0019E03S), 20 miles from the middle of Wheeler County. It reported every one of the 282 days from Jan 1 to Oct 9. 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 282 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.
