From the Cortez Journal (Reid Wright):
Measurements taken in Cortez show 2.42 inches, or 197 percent above normal precipitation for July; and 1.97 inches, or 144 percent above normal precipitation for August. Typically the driest month of the year, June reached 0.43 inches, which is 100 percent of normal, [local meteorologist Jim Andrus] said. Last summer was relatively dry, and the area has not seen this much summer precipitation since 2006, Andrus said.
