Cincinnati has had a lot of rain recently. But how much rain?

Think Everglades. Think of where California's giant redwoods grow. Think Amazon (the rainforest, not the company), or at least Amazon near.

Cincinnati has seen 33.71 inches of rain so far in 2019, which is over a foot more than the 30-year average determined by the National Weather Service.

If this year's rainfall trend continues, Cincinnati could see around 61.73 inches, which would beat out 1990 as second on the list. Such a high reading this year also would put three of the top five wettest years in the 2010s.

So if we hit that 61.73 inch mark, Everglades National Park will seem like a desert oasis. Florida's River of Grass sees an average of 56.31 inches of rainfall a year.

The Redwood National and State Parks get 60-80 inches of rain a year.

And the Amazon rain forest will see annual rainfall ranging from 59 inches to 118 inches. Cincinnati's annual rainfall has had a steady climb over the last three years, though it won't likely get to rain forest levels any time soon.

Is what's happening now rare?

Last year, Cincinnati saw a 55.90 inches of rain, turning 2018 into the third wettest year on record.

How deep is 55.90 inches of water? Rounding up, it's almost five feet. That's almost the height of a sedan.

Still, the Queen City has seen worse than this or last year. In 2011, 73.28 inches of rain fell in what was Cincinnati's wettest year ever.

Why are we getting soaked now?

A super moist stagnant front is floating above the city, a representative from the National Weather Service in Wilmington said. All the moisture on that boundary is the cause of the constant rain and excessive humidity on the ground.
