The Week of June 17th -- Happy Twenty-Eighth Anniversary CoCoRaHS!

This week, we celebrate CoCoRaHS's Twenty-Eighth Anniversary.  The CoCoRaHS website was launched on June 17, 1998 -- officially marking the beginning of our volunteer rain gauge network. One hundred beginner weather observers reported that day. We now have over 28,000 rain gauge observers who send in reports regularly (a few occasionally). Let's celebrate our 28th anniversary by having everyone send in their CoCoRaHS daily precipitation reports and set a new all-time record for the most CoCoRaHS reports in one day. 

For those of you who did not know, the number of reports received each day is listed just above the national map on our home page.

Thanks very much for all of your reports and for being part of our CoCoRaHS team!
