How this site decides what it can and cannot say — the method.
Insufficient record
No read issued
5 reports — a correlation needs at least 10 before it means anything, so no read is issued here.
What people saw
5 observations between 2017-01-28 and 2026-08-09, ranging from dry to strong. Most recently pools or dripping, 1 month ago.
These are the observations themselves, not a forecast. Too few to correlate against rainfall, but they are what people actually found.
Somebody found this completely dry. A source that has been dry can be dry again, whatever the rest of the record says.
- 2026-08-09Pools or dripping0.2Large, mostly fresh-looking pools. Not much of a trickle.
- 2022-01-02Moderate0.6
- 2020-12-05Pools or dripping0.2One sad, lonely pool.
- 2020-10-11Dry0.0
- 2017-01-28Strong0.8
Why
The engine will still produce a number from 5 reports, and that number is noise. It will happily report a perfect correlation from two observations. On a screen where someone is deciding how much water to carry, that is the most dangerous thing this site could render, so it is not rendered.
With 5 reports, the engine's read would average all 5 of them rather than the ones whose rainfall matched today — so it would return the same figure on every date of the year, whatever the weather had done. It is a summary of the record, not a forecast.
5 more reports would reach the 10 needed for a read.
Rainfall here
The last 60 days here have been wetter than usual for mid September — 79th percentile against 19 years of rainfall at this coordinate, through 2026-09-15.
This is rainfall, not water. It says what the weather has done here, not what is in the ground — a spring fed from deep water can run through a dry autumn, and a runoff channel can be empty two weeks after a wet one. Which of those this is takes reports to find out.
4.73″ over 60 days, against 19 years at this coordinate. Band: wetter.
This is the fix
Every dated observation moves this source closer to a read, and sharpens the ones around it too.
