Looking into the longest stretch of days with wet weather in Youngstown, Ohio

We are on a long streak of wet days this month. In fact, we have not had a day where the Youngstown/Warren Regional Airport did not pick up at least a trace of precipitation so far this month.

Today is the 19th day this month with at least a trace of precipitation. The streak goes back to March 30 which would make the entire streak of days with at least a trace of precipitation at 21 Days!

Looking at the record books, there are other long streaks like this through time. The records do not show days with a trace of precipitation, so we have to use the smallest measurable number of 0.1″.
