This section shows the rainfall history on Statia taken from Upper Round Hill (1981-2005) and Pleasures (2006 to today). Until 2013, data was collected in rain gauges. Since 11-Jan-2013, rain data is automatically recorded from the Pleasures weather station. The weather station uses a tipping-bucket rain instrument.
The following chart shows Statia's monthly minimum, median, and maximum rainfall since 1981. Half the months have more rainfall and half have less than the median. The plot shows the median instead of the average because it is less sensitive to extreme values. This year's actual monthly rainfall, measured by the weather station in Pleasures, is also plotted.
The following chart shows Statia's cumulative rain over the last 12 months compared to the median rainfall that occurred since 1981. This shows whether our rainfall is above or below normal over the last year.
This chart shows the last 30 years of rainfall by year.
This table shows the historical rain data on a monthly basis since 1981. It shows millimeters(inches).
