These charts compare annual rainfall and temperatures from 2000 to 2016 for two locations: Intercontinental Airport located 9.9 miles southwest of our house; and our house in Kingwood. The airport (IAH) normals are 30 year moving averages. The trends are interesting. Though there is substantial year-to-year variation, over twenty years, annual rainfall has increased 2 inches per decade and the average annual temperature has increased 2/3 degree fahrenheit per decade.
