How this site decides what it can and cannot say — the method.
Insufficient record
No read issued
2 reports — a correlation needs at least 10 before it means anything, so no read is issued here.
What people saw
2 observations between 2018-06-30 and 2020-04-04, ranging from dry to moderate. Most recently moderate, 7 years 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.

- 2018-06-30Dry0.0
Why
The engine will still produce a number from 2 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.
8 more reports would reach the 10 needed for a read.
This is the fix
Every dated observation moves this source closer to a read, and sharpens the ones around it too.
