...RECORD DRIEST JANUARY SET AT MOUNT POCONO PA...

FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2025, ONLY 0.73 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION WAS
RECORDED AT THE POCONO MOUNTAINS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT NEAR MOUNT POCONO
PA. THIS SETS A NEW MONTHLY RECORD FOR THE DRIEST JANUARY. THE
PREVIOUS RECORD WAS JANUARY OF 1955, WHEN ONLY 0.78 INCHES OF
PRECIPITATION WAS RECORDED FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH.

FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY 1990, ONLY 0.61 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION WAS
RECORDED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE 19 MISSING OBSERVATIONS FROM THAT
MONTH, AND THUS IT CANNOT STAND AS THE MONTHLY RECORD VALUE.

MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION WAS RECORDED ON NINE DAYS OF THE MONTH, AND
TRACES OF PRECIPITATION ALSO OCCURRED ON TWELVE DAYS OF THE MONTH.
RAINFALL OCCURRED ON ONLY TWO OF THE DAYS, SO THE MAJORITY OF
PRECIPITATION FELL AS SNOWFALL.

PRECIPITATION RECORDS BEGAN IN THE MOUNT POCONO PA AREA IN 1902.
