It's a weird year. The tallest hills nearby are only about 800 feet higher than here, so that would not make much rain shadow effect. A farmer I know about 12 miles SE of here has received over five inches total in the same time period, in four separate rains nicely spaced out. Some areas to the west about 15 miles have received about three inches. North about 8 miles, three inches. Build a pond, cause a desert to develop.
