There is no question that 2020 was the wettest year on record for Highlands, NC. We ended 2020 with nearly 140" of rain. So how does that compare to 2021? The current year-to-date total is 43.20" of rain since January 1, 2021. This same date last year (June 30, 2020), we had already received at 59.15". That is a difference of 16" of rain! This year's weather has certainly been more Superintendent friendly and my hope is that this 2021 weather pattern continues through the fall months.
