While most of the Florida Keys experienced abnormally dry to moderate drought so far this year, June is making up for it. For some areas, all in one day. Tavernier and parts of the Upper Keys saw significant rainfall Thursday night, June 4th. Key West, Stock Island and parts of the Lower Keys saw significant rainfall on Friday, June 5th. During the Lower Keys rain event, the Key West International Airport recorded over 3 inches of rain in just 1 hour, leading to significant flooding around northern and eastern parts of the island. Rainfall rates of this magnitude are on the order of a one in ten year event. Rainfall totals were generally in the range of two to three inches, though parts of the Lower and Upper Keys saw measured totals of six to eight inches. Notably, the Middle Keys managed to miss the higher rainfall totals this time around with most areas picking up just one to two inches. The tables below contain rainfall reports from June 1st through 5th across the Florida Keys, collected from a variety of sources with varying equipment and exposures. The first table lists the top 5 cumulative rainfall totals for the week across the entire island chain. Following that table, we break down the reports by Lower, Middle, and Upper Keys. Not all data listed are considered official. We thank all volunteer weather observers for their dedication!
