NOAA released an
online article on April 17, 2008 reporting that March 2008 was rather chilly in the US as it was an average of 0.4C below the 20th century mean. Combine that with a record amount of rainfall in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys and you have a pretty miserable month... However, globally, March 2008 was the warmest March on record!
Below is a map that shows the rank of each state with respect to the wettest and driest months (114 = wettest, 1 = driest).
Cape Girardeau, MO has had its wettest month on record at just a bit over 17" of rain (typically Cape Girardeau only receives 45-50" in an average year.
