Depending on where you live in the Battle Creek area, there was anywhere between .65 inches (northern Battle Creek) to .41 inches of rain (at the Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field). The total amount of rain in the month of May concluded with 1.01 inches, almost 3 1/2 inches less than average for the month based on the last 25 years. On top of that, we are now short of eight inches of precipitation below normal.
