There was a typhoon hitting around my arrival here. There were many typhoons or storms that kept everything soaked here until the 3rd week of Aug.

There is an article here that describes the rainfall as possibly 78 inches in a 24 hour period.

The rain here during that time was less than that where you are but nearly constant for weeks. The clouds coming in off the Pacific can keep the rain coming down for longer periods than one would expect inland US.

It seems that a coffee can left out in direct rain will estimate the inches fallen in a 24 hour timeframe. I'll be sure to set that up on the farm to get an idea of how much rain is falling.
