Okay, but before everyone freaks out, 2 of the 5 samples for this year are record lows for a data set of 8 years. Also they seem to have taken only about 2/3 as many measurements this year as previous years, because the low points for previous years are between a number of the samples for this year.

The trend for the final two samples is well into new territory, for sure, but the overall tone is... shrill.

Cumulative seasonal rainfall data has been collected for much longer than 8 years. This year looks very, very dry.

Their graph only goes back to 2013.
