Aug. was the wettest month 8.33" Sept.6.83",July 5.92", June 4.52",Oct. 4.27. Nov. wins as the dry month .05". Overall it was not  bad at my location for rainfall. I fee lucky, other Tampa area locations got a lot less. No frost or freeze in 2007.

Although I do not have a NWS station, I do monitor the weather with digital equipment etc... I was ab out Larry, except I hit 33.7F that cold morning with light frost across the street. Rainfall, so erratic, pumped up in Sept and Oct. Oct I measured over 6" total, and including the 3.8" we had last weekend (before Xmas) I would say overall it was normal - just wish it would come now and again rather than bucnhes. Now, that freeze is coming~! Time to prepare. Luckily, I am off school until Jan8th so I have plenty of time. Waking up to 71F at 6am and worrying about a freeze in two days? That's Florida!

Larry, Most stations I have reviewed in the Tampa area have been close to avg. on rainfall. A few look strange,and after reviewing the history for the location I know it can not be right. A Lutz station reports 100.71" of rain,July -Dec.(if they would only cut the sprinkler off) Macdill AFB has received only 14.89" and the station history shows no flaws.

I have been very lucky here, right where I am in 2007. Farther south it was cold in the winter/spring and also in the autumn. We here just kept our temps above 0ºc the whole time. That was unusual though. Great! Yippy!
