This summer, the rain has been much less frequent. I don't think we have had more than a handful of torrential rains all summer. If we do get rain, it is usually a quick sprinkle - about .1 inch or less.
My question is - which is the typical weather - last year or this year?

I think this year more typical. When I moved to The Villages 6 years ago, I expected it to rain every afternoon, because that was the way it happened in Gainesville when I attended graduate school there. In Gainesville, the afternoon rain was like clockwork. Not so in The Villages, even though it is only 65 miles away.
