2020 - a combined total of 3.31” of rain fell yesterday and today. this was the wettest that any consecutive calendar days have been since April 29 to May first of 2014 when a combined total of 5.12” of rain fell (then some more rain would fall on May 3 and 4 too).
side note: yesterday’s rain was the wettest July day since 2000 (when 3.24” fell on 7/26) and the fifteenth wettest July day on record.
