Question

The difference in rainfall was
inches

Answer 1

To find the difference in rainfall between June and July, we start with the rainfall anomalies for each month:

• June: 2.3 inches above normal
• July: 1.2 inches below normal

To find the total difference, we need to add the two figures (since one is above normal and the other is below normal):

Difference = 2.3 (June) + 1.2 (July) = 3.5 inches

Thus, the difference in rainfall between June and July was 3.5 inches.
