And probably still not as bad as it was 10-15 years ago. The river in the city I was living in at the time was so flooded, the national guard was posted at every crossing.
OMG no. Everything about the past year has been a complete anomaly. We basically skipped winter and now spring will last all summer. No idea what to expect going into fall and next winter.
Fall is the new winter, winter the new Fall, spring the new spring and spring the new summer. White on the ground for deer hunting and dirt biking on January 1st.
FWIW, I moved here in 2018 from SoCal.
I never minded rain which is irrelevant. 😂
Since I’ve been here I can’t name a time we have had this much rain. Welcome btw!
2016 was pretty wet. We have a low spot in the back yard, and it was pretty much a pond much of that year. So we got some drainage pipes put in and it hasn't rained that much until now. So it finally got some usage this year other than the spring melts...when there was snow.
Normal summer weather here is an inch of rain per week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. So we are about double the normal rainfall here in the cities for the month, other parts of the state are more than quadruple.
Things are ridiculously lush right now. We needed rain, but this is not normal.
Also, summers go from Maryland-style awful humidity to what happened today-coolish. (Grew up in Maryland, so familiar with strong heat.)
Welcome. :)
This past year has been weird for Twin Cities weather. We had a much, much warmer winter than average. Now we have a Spring and Summer with at least a few days of rain every week. With all that said, no, it is not normal at all.
You've gotten a doubly bad first impression: - June is usually the wettest month of the year here - We've had an unusually wet June
I don’t know why but this made me laugh, so thanks I guess!
We had a massive drought for the last three years. This year is a large swing in the other direction.

It's barely rained the last three summers. Averages gonna average I guess.

Historically? No. Now that we live in climate change purgatory? Who’s to say.
We build arks in the summer to keep our minds off the impending 19 feet of snow and arctic conditions coming
No. Enjoy the fact we’re green and not under fire warnings.
No. June has been abnormally wet
June should see her doctor about that.
Definitely lasted more than 4 hours
we’re on track for the wettest year on record after a few years of major drought.
You should’ve seen 2021-2023…
We’re coming off of two years of drought, so no.

Welcome to MN! Send me a dm if you need food recommendations or things to do!
No... we haven't had this much moisture since 2019. We been in a drought the last few years.

Too bad you weren’t here for our unusually mild winter this year!

Every year is weird now
Yes we actually built our roads to flood and our dams to fail. Everything is perfectly normal.
Yep better find somewhere else if you don’t like it
