does washington state get much rain?
For 40 days (and nights), relentless waves of storms have soaked the corridor from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore. An unbelievable 12-15 inches of rain has drenched this area since June 1 â more rain than falls in an entire summer, on average (10.44 inches in D.C.). Rain has fallen on 25 of the last 36 days, and many Washingtonians are fed up with this weather better suited for mushrooms than people.
