No i dont have anything connected with weather underground. I just monitor my rainfall so i can have my sprinklers turned off for as much as possible in order to save money on my water bill without letting my yard dry up. Today is now june 13 and the last time i had any measurable rain in my gauge was on the 9th. That was two inches. If we go to the 16th and still no rain then the sprinklers will come back on but then what i can do is still cut back on the watering time per zone. Every little bit helps the water bill. Right now as i reported earlier i have had five and 1/4 inch so far in june. But thats not to say that in other parts of the villages certain areas could have gotten more or less. It just depends where your at. I have seen people a few miles from me get a lot and i got nothing. Anyway if anyone wants a total rain update for the santo domingo area ill be glad to post it upon request.
