We are currently at 60.23 inches of rain for the year in Birmingham. This is already enough to rank as the 24th wettest year in Magic City history. We should see another nine inches of rain between now and the end of the year. If this happens, 2009 will end up being the sixth wettest year in Birmingham history.
