Hyde Park: Boston's rain forest
By adamg on Mon, 09/12/2016 - 9:38am
The Boston Water and Sewer Commission has six rain gauges across the city and you can see how much rain each has gotten on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. So far this year, Hyde Park has gotten the most rain - a whole 21.58 inches. Neighboring Roslindale, meanwhile, has only gotten 16.58. Both places, of course, are far below the normal amounts.

How's the weather?
It's always seemed to me that we got a bit more snow as well...I wonder if anyone has measured that?
Curious
Pretty amazing that there can be a ~25% difference between Hyde Park and Rozzy. Is there something specific that can account for this (e.g. proximity to Blue Hill)? Or is it just random chance?
Urban heat island effect?
Cooler spots tend to get more rain and snow than even nearby spaces.
This is a thermal image from a hot night in the Boston area - you can see the cool spots.
Thanks!
Thanks!
