this lack of rain is deeply unnerving

Will It Rain?: The driest March to June on record
This fakeout just happened again -- a beautiful north-south line of thunderstorms approached from the west, and right as it hit Ithaca, it thinned and split with the gap precisely over the city. I can see blue sky out my kitchen windows and the scattered raindrop splotches on my back porch are already almost dry.
I mean, a thunderstorm is not the kind of rain we need anyway, but at least it would have been SOMETHING. But nope. No rain for you!
Ithaca is over 6.5 inches of rain short for the year so far, the whole region has passed from 'abnormally dry' into 'moderate drought,' and this is really getting distressing. :(
