May. In south and central Florida, average yearly rainfall is about 53 inches.
Actual rainfall varies widely from year to year, and from location to location.
One part of the District may be flooded at the same time another area is in the midst of drought. Today, we can reduce the impact and duration of flooding by monitoring water and weather conditions, and by sending water out to sea or to storage areas before, during and after storms. We can also move water throughout the region to recharge drinking water supply sources such as wellfields.
