Historical Rainfall
This is a historical record of rain accumulated at various rain gauges throughout the City during the rain season, which typically runs from May 1- Sep 30. Readings are taken at 5 minute intervals, and updated daily. This data is QA/QC'd on an annual basis at the end of the calendar year at which time some adjustments may be made to the data. Users should keep in mind that data viewed before March 31 of the following year should be considered in a ‘raw’ state and may be subject to change. For current year, raw rainfall readings see <a href=" https://data.calgary.ca/Environment/Current-Year-Rainfall/c7sr-67sr">Current Year Rainfall</a>
