It's never been this wet
Rain City residents: Remember what you were doing back in December 1933? Because it has never been wetter. -- 'til now.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that November is officially the rainiest month in the Seattle area in at least 115 years. The weather service officially started collecting records in 1891.
As of midnight, the amount of precipitation collected at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was 15.59 inches, according to the agency.
That amount shatters the December 1933 record of 15.33 inches, which was collected at the Federal Building in Seattle.
The precipitation includes rain, snow, sleet and hail.
"It's a fairly impressive number," said Dustin Guy, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Seattle. "We live in a place that has a reputation for being wet."
A little more moisture fell on Thursday to raise the final tally for the month to 15.63 inches.
