What a year we have had with all this rain! Here in Searcy we've seen nearly 47 inches. We're close to our average of 51. It should no doubt be an above average year for rainfall here in Searcy. But in terms of records, The National Weather Service doesn't keep rainfall records for Searcy. So we can only say that a certain year is below, above, or near average. However Little Rock is the official site for recording official rainfall totals. Searcy would be included in those totals. We are sitting at the fifth wettest month on record. We only need another 7.25 inches to tie the record. The average rainfall combined for the months of November and December are 10.5 inches. So if we see average rainfall, we will well eclipse the old numbers and have nearly 80 inches of rain.
