So far, about 0.6 inches of rain has fallen into the rain gauge at Philadelphia International Airport, and with the next round of rain expected to hold off until after midnight, today’s precipitation record is safe.
On this date in 1980, 3.82 inches was measured at the airport, a record for an Oct. 25.
While that is nowhere near the record for a calendar day – more than 4 inches has fallen on four different days in September – it is still noteworthy given that this is the driest period of the year.
