Sure looks that way. Here are some notes so you can be the judge:
COOSA COUNTY
At Weogufka, fondly called the "Metropolis" by blog contributor, Scott, counting today, it has rained on 14 of the 16 days. The total: 8.97 inches.
ETOWAH COUNTY
ABC 33/49 Weather Watcher Vic Bell, who keeps a close watch on the weather in Black Creek, NE of Gadsden, reports 7.26 inches of rain falling on 13 of the first 15 days. Vic says that is quite a lot since we have missed all the big rains since Dennis. 4.45 inches of the 7.26 fell in the three days leading up to Cindy.
SHELBY COUNTY/HELENA
Brian Peters reports 7.34 inches with measurable rain on 11 days. Brian adds that his location is already well above normal even for the entire month of July and if the weather suddenly turned dry, July would still be a wet month.
BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT
Measurable rain on 11 of first 15 days in July, total now 5.62, well above normal for two-week period.
TUSCALOOSA AIRPORT
Measurable rain on 10 of first 15 days. The 5.60 total so far is well above normal. Tuscaloosa received 3.51 inches on Sunday, July 10, a direct result of Mr. Dennis.
ANNISTON AIRPORT
Measurable rain on 13 of first 15 days for a total of 5.40 inches. That's rain on 87% of the days. The excess cloudiness and rain has held down temperatures although the humidity has gone off the charts. The high for the first half of July is only 92. On four days, the high was only in the 80s and it only reached 79 on July 6 and 10. A high of only 79 in Judy? Rather unusual.
SHELBY COUNTY AIRPORT
7.34 inches of rain the first two weeks and measurable rain has occurred on 10 of the first 15 days. That is an average of slightly over 1/2 inch per day. Two big rain days, 2.24 inches on the 6th and 3.17 with Dennis on the 10th.
TROY AIRPORT
Down in SE Alabama, measurable rain has come to Troy on 13 of the first 15 days with a total of 6.17 inches. Only nearly half of the days in July so far (7 days) the high temperature has failed to reach 90. On July 10, the day Dennis came calling, the high was only 78.
MONTGOMERY AIRPORT (DANNELLY FIELD)
Measurable rain on 12 of the first 15 days for a total of 5.48 inches. On six days, the ole thermometer could not reach 90.
TENNESSEE VALLEY
Not nearly as wet as the rest of the state. July totals through the 15th include 3.17 inches in Huntsville, 3.86 at Decatur and only 1.81 at Muscle Shoals in Extreme NW Alabama.
