This year (2021) has been a unique year on weather so far. Since 1 January, I would take a guess that we've had maybe two single fronts to come through this part of the Rhine Valley, with thunder, lightning and heavy rainfall over the past 120-odd days.
Yesterday? For about forty-five minutes....a serious amount of lightning and rain (3rd day for the year).
In a normal year? If you go back ten to twenty years.....it was normal to have thirty of these fronts in a average year. Last year, I would suggest that fewer than six serious fronts came through the valley.
Last night, the HR weather guy (our regional public TV network)....did a detail analysis over rainfall for 2021 so far....we were in the zone of only 40-percent of normal rainfall for 2021 so far. If you went around 100 km north of here....they had around 140-percent of the normal rainfall.
Just luck or bad luck? Maybe.
