A fellow shared his rainfall data website on Crop Talk awhile ago. I got to playing around with it and found it pretty close to my data. Any of you can access it for free for your location. Here is mine for 2010:
There are countless uses for NEXRAD rainfall data from precision agriculture and irrigation, crop insurance, gardening, watershed hydrology, environmental studies and education. So what are you using it for?
Coming soon you will be able to store locations, derive average rainfall over an area. Let us know if you are doing any modeling work with something like SWAT, HEC-HMS, or SWMM and we can help you out!To export the data on this page, just select the values in the table and cut and paste them into something like Microsoft Excel.Check out the user's poll on our front page to let us know how you are using the data! Latitude: 39.326463 Longitude: -83.83169
state: OH
The closest NEXRAD cell centroid to you is 513701 at a distance of 1.77651539901 km.

Now nothing beats an old fashioned raingauge and a legal pad written by hand for authenticity. I hope I am beyond that now. This is a pretty good tool I am sure many of you can use.
At least compare it to yours, if you keep one and let us know how close it is.
Thanks,
Ed Winkle
That's not too much with half of the year nearly gone!
