It is VERY late although it depends on your definition of 'rainy season'. We have had rains in the area off and on for the past 2 weeks, but they have been much more scattered and isolated than would be normal for this point in the summer, thus the 'delayed' rainy season. Today there were some pretty solid storms around and if you were under one, and inch was very possible, but if you missed them, it was a scorcher (a 100 degree F temperature reading north of Tampa today...very unusual). We had thunder and wind here twice and only received sprinkles. Bring on the rain (even on Friday when we plan on a beach day)!!
