Portland International Airport set a rainfall record for December through February (the meteorological winter) at 25.27 inches, the National Weather Service reports.

Normal rainfall for the airport during the same period is 14.14 inches. Records have been kept at the airport since 1940.

That's a lot of rain. And February's not over yet, so the number will climb.

Other near-record-setting areas (where records have been kept since the 1890s) include:

Vancouver with its second wettest winter (25.77 inches)

Downtown Portland's third wettest winter (31.06 inches)

and Hillsboro with its fourth wettest winter (24.74 inches).

The ranking is for the period of Dec. 1 1 through Feb. 28-29.

And the Portland area's rainy season is far from over. Keep those rain boots and umbrellas handy.
